We finally come to the movements in these two TAG Heuer watches which are technically different but very similar. While the TAG Heuer Carrera 1887 has light hints of the design’s stopwatch DNA, the Carrera Heuer 01 has for the most part totally forgone this, as the design elements take on a more futuristic theme which I think the collection adopts quite nicely. Part of the Carrera design DNA is the red ring around the chronograph start and stop pusher, which, again, is a nod to racing stopwatches from when Heuer used to produce them. So that also makes the brand unique for using a variety of different logos in their current collection. Other more vintage-style TAG Heuer watches often have the even more retro “Heuer” logo on them. Another interesting detail is that the Carrera 1887 sports the last generation TAG Heuer logo, while the Carrera Heuer 01 has the newest generation logo. In fact, if there were something that these watches do share that is identical, it might be the hands for the seconds and for the subdials. As chronographs, the two watches are the same, each with 12-hour chronographs and even similar looking hands.
