TAG Heuer and its founder, Jack Heuer, are synonymous with auto racing replica watches for sale and played a critical role in shaping the chronograph genre.
However, until it was revived in 2024, few best fake watches fans were aware of Mr. Heuer’s significant contribution to nautical timekeeping.
In the 1940s, Heuer was tasked with developing a mechanical tide monitoring complication for a major client, Abercrombie & Fitch. The watchmaker delivered in 1949 with the Solunar, which was allegedly designed with the assistance of Heuer’s physics teacher.
The initial UK copy watches failed to take off, but a few years later, when the complication was placed in a nautical-themed chronograph called the Seafarer, it became a hit. Produced until 1970, it went down in watch lore as the most sought-after Swiss made replica watches from the Heuer-Abercrombie partnership.
Hodinkee and TAG Heuer teamed up to revive the Seafarer in 2024. Based on a reference from 1969, it has a black dial with silver, white and tonal blue detailing.
Nearly a year later, TAG Heuer is launching another cheap fake TAG Heuer Seafarer-inspired chronograph watches without Hodinkee at the helm. This one notably does not have the Solunar complication, but it is tied to another, more famous watch from the brand’s storied history.
The Carrera with many faces
While the Hodinkee collaboration was a faithful reissue, save for scrubbing A&F from the dial and placing it under the Carrera umbrella, this new chronograph is only visually inspired by the Seafarer.
It borrows the tonal blue and yellow paint job from a different 1960s Seafarer reference. An inset 30-minute chronograph counter at three o’clock has a snailed texture and light blue yacht timer segments.
Everything else about the high quality super clone watches mechanically is a pure Carrera Chronograph because it is built on the CBN201, the modern incarnation of the original Heuer Carrera from 1963.
The CBN201 is one of Swiss movements TAG Heuer replica watches‘ go-to models for limited editions. Numbered references, like the quintessential blue dial CBN2011, are regular production models, while lettered references are limited and often collaborations.
With this new release, top TAG Heuer knock off watches has worked through the alphabet to CBN201N. The series includes some notable rare Carreras, like a mother-of-pearl dial CBN201E and the Ikuzawa racing collaboration CBN201F.
A nautical racer
At its heart, this Seafarer-inspired Carrera is a racing chronograph with a nautical paint job. It has more in common with perfect TAG Heuer fake watches‘ rich racing heritage because it lacks the critical complication tied to the sea.
This nautical AAA duplicate TAG Heuer Carrera watches is powered by a TH20-00 automatic movement with an 80-hour power reserve. It’s outfitted with the same pushers flanking the same gear-shaped crown that the Carrera has featured since the 1960s.
Reproduction TAG Heuer watches paypal has even equipped it with a perforated leather racing strap, which would be entirely out of place on a genuine sailing watch.
This isn’t really a Seafarer, but a beautiful limited edition version of the iconic Carrera Chronograph replica watches sale. It appeals more to auto racing watch fans than nautical watch fans and is useless to anyone interested in the sol-out Seafarer reissue.
Availability and pricing
The real rub with this beautiful chronograph imitate watches site is that it is only available in the French market. Only 500 pieces are available, but that is more than many of the previous CBN201 limited editions. So it will likely show up on the resale market soon enough.
The 1:1 replica TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph CBN201N watches is available now from TAG Heuer for EUR 7,350, but only in France.
