Tag Heuer Grand Carrera
Grand Carrera can change the familiar experience of reading a chronograph, particularly in the Calibre 17 RS display.

A closer look
Reading the rotating discs
The TAG Heuer Grand Carrera Calibre 17 RS turns the usual counter display around: graduated discs move behind arc-shaped windows, and fixed red indicators mark the readings. Running seconds appear at 3 o'clock and elapsed chronograph minutes at 9. Instead of following a hand around a small dial, you read the graduation arriving at its indicator.
The case and wider family
That arrangement is a concrete reason to explore the Grand Carrera if conventional chronograph counters leave you indifferent. Steel models also have a broad, flat outer bezel, making a substantial frame around the display. The family extends to other versions, including a Grand Date, but the disc arrangement described here belongs specifically to Calibre 17 RS.
