TAG Heuer Grand Carrera Caliber 36 RS Caliper Chronograph Stainless Steel Review

TAG Heuer Grand Carrera Caliber 36 RS Caliper is 43 mm wide and 15.75 mm high. At just over 190 grams, it is also rather heavy. The main feature of the watch is the 1/10th of a second chronograph which comes from the TAG Heuer Caliber 36 movement. It is a modified version of the famous Zenith El Primero movement that runs at 36,000 bph - giving it the ability to measure these smaller intervals. The best TAG Heuer replica watches at captainthewatch.is.

Replica TAG Heuer Grand Carrera Caliber 36 can be started with a push on the top button. The start button has a solid click feel to it. The long, polished steel, seconds hand will move around the dial in micro-steps while the one-third quadrant at three o'clock tallies the minutes (up to 30) and three quarter quadrant at 6 o'clock tallies the hours (up to 12). When engaged, a second push to the top button stops the chronograph. The second button resets the chronograph along with both the minutes and the hours tallies.

The dial is recessed and a second smaller dial where the caliper moves contains markers for 1/5th second between any two second markers. The bezel is also polished steel with a black marked tachymetre that is done discretely, thereby, not distracting the users who may not care to measure speed. At 9 o'clock is a cutout vertical strip that allows the black and red hands to be seen and move to indicate the current seconds.

Unlike most visible casebacks, TAG decided to split this one into two viewing sapphire windows with the remaining steel marked with the TAG Heuer name and logo, model name and number, as well as the unique serial number of the watch. The self-winding rotor is decorated with the TAG Heuer name and logo and cut open to better show the movement which is itself decorated with rubies, blue steel screws, and brass gears. The whole thing is quite impressive and accentuates the feel of a solid instrument.

The steel strap alternates with polished and brushed links that could not work better with the polished bezel and the hour markers.
