TAG Heuer 2011 Singapore Limited Edition - Commemorating the Fourth SingaporeGP
TAG Heuer continues for their fourth year with the
commemorative editions for the SingaporeGP. The previous three editions
scored very well, and from the last year, 2010, TAG Heuer issued a lady
version accompanying the gentleman's piece.
For 2011, the same
effort is repeated with TAG Heuer Carrera Heritage and Formula 1 Lady
Ceramic Chronograph (Singapore Limited Edition).
A snapshot of previous 3 editions ...
The shape is back to round from last year square Monaco,
but the colour theme remains, consistent from first edition - British
Racing Green with the 2011 Carrera Heritage Calibre 16 Automatic Chronograph. The design is inspired by a prototype of the 1945 Carrera.
Total production is limited to 250 pieces.
41 mm polished steel case. Rated to 100m water-resistance.
Double-sided anti-reflective coating. Dial is black with “flinqué” effect.
3 sub-counters – chronograph minute at 12H, chronograph hour at 6H, running second at 9H
The texture of this edition is
gloss-finishing. Even the Arabic hour-markers and the hour &
minute & small-second hands are polished.
Polished pushers and signed crown.
Green chronograph second hand, green sub-counter hands
Black alligator strap with racing-green stitching with steel folding clasp.
Sapphire caseback with numbered edition and the 'Singapore LE' engraved on.
Neatly decorated Calibre 6 automatic chronograph was also used in the 2009 Singapore Limited Edition too.
The racing Lady Edition was started in 2010 with a "Time-Only" Formula 1 Lady Ceramic with black diamonds.
This year, the 2011 Lady's Formula 1 Lady Ceramic Chronograph with Black Diamonds
version has graduated to a more interesting monochromatic Chronograph
piece with ceramic bezel and black diamonds to signify the night race.
The production quantity is 200 pieces.
41mm steel case with polished
ceramic bezel (and links on the bracelet) mounted with 60 black diamonds
with diameter of 1.20mm – Total: 0.44carats
Hour-markers are by 12 black diamond with diameter of 1.20mm – Total: 0.9 carats
Both the hour and minute hands, and also the doted hour-markers are luminescent.
Alternate steel and ceramic bracelet with steel “butterfly” folding clasp.
Containing inside is a quartz movement. Serialised number edition is engraved onto the solid caseback.
After seeing four rounds of the Singapore Limited Editions, which edition you prefer?
For me, the 2009 edition still looks good.
