The design of the replica TAG Heuer Carrera Calibre 36 Chronograph Flyback is influenced by vintage TAG Heuer stopwatches, with the seconds displayed on a large scale along the outer rim of the dial. The watch also features a Zenith El Primero movement.
The watch picks up design elements from TAG Heuer’s Mikrograph, including most prominently the seconds track with oversize digits and an especially large “60” at the top of the dial. The wide seconds track aids legibility and helps fill the space between the subdials and the bezel, which is needed given that the movement’s architecture was developed when watches were smaller. The 43-mm case is a traditional Carrera design, rendered in grade 2 titanium. The case finish is created by sandblasting the exterior before treating it with a black titanium carbide coating.
The anthracite dial is decorated with a sunray effect. The chronograph minutes and continuous seconds subdials are snailed with fine-brushed appliqués and polished facets. The caseback is smoked sapphire. The strap, inspired by motor-racing leathers, is black leather with a black perforated layer and a black titanium grade 2 folding clasp.
