Although absent in the LVMH Watch Week in Dubai, TAG Heuer has recreated probably the most famous references of their flagship Carrera chronograph line lately: the 1960s Carrera 2447S. This latest version, the TAG Heuer Carrera 160 Years Special Edition replica, is definitely an impressively faithful entertainment from the Heuer original, finished to modern standards and operated by TAG Heuer’s in-house Heuer 02 automatic chronograph movement. The brand new TAG Heuer Carrera 160 Years Silver Special Edition 39mm men's watch replica (reference number CBK221B.FC6479) is really a welcome go back to the clean lines of history.
Heuer’s caliber 02 is a column-wheel chronograph with an 80-hour power reserve. Furthermore, the watch is water-resistant to 100 meters (another modern advantage).

Silver Dial
The silver dial looks so clean and crisp, the sub-dials look good under closer inspection, and the hands are legible over the brushed sun-ray dial. Overall, TAG Heuer knew where to leave well enough alone and understood that a simple watch relies on nailing the small things. There's a lot of history behind the concept of this TAG Heuer Carrera 39mm watch fake , but putting all that (necessary) talk aside I found it to be a faithful and successful re-edition of a classic.39mm Case
While slightly upsized from the 36mm original, this new interpretation of the 2447S remains compact at a 39mm overall case diameter. While some purists may disagree, the increase in size may even propel it above the original, allowing the TAG Heuer Carrera 160 Years watch replica some noticeable wrist presence without leaving a vintage-style size entirely. The lines at play are all classic ‘60s Heuer, too, from the unadorned slender bezel to the distinctive beveled lugs. Even the sapphire crystal is domed for a retro feel. The real point of divergence for the Carrera 160 Years Silver Limited Edition, however, is the caseback.Caliber Heuer 02 Movement
This TAG Heuer men's watch replica has opted for a broad sapphire display window here, showcasing the uniquely decorated Heuer 02 automatic movement within. What also makes sense, is the use of their in-house caliber Heuer 02 movement. Sure, a hand-wound chronograph movement would come closer to the original Carrera 2447S, which was powered by the famous Valjoux 72 chronograph movement, but this caliber 02 is a worthy choice for this re-edition. The use of this Heuer caliber 02 movement does change the position of the running seconds compared to the Valjoux 72. Instead of 9 o'clock, the running seconds are now at 6 o'clock, swapped with the hour counter of the chronograph. The minute counter remains positioned at 3 o'clock.Heuer’s caliber 02 is a column-wheel chronograph with an 80-hour power reserve.
