There is a tendency that top brand of watch like to cooperate with fancy car brands. There are many examples, thus I will not give unnecessary details. However, today we do have something new to talk about related to this type of cooperation. The limited edition SLR watches of Tag Heuer were released which widely was seemed as the result of its cooperation with the notorious Mercedes and McLaren brands.
Tag Heuer released the SL collection in the mid 2000’s and due to the huge success of these timepieces, over the years it has enriched the series with newer and better models. The beautiful Tag Heuer Replica presented here is definitely a reason why this brand is so popular. The limited edition retro looking model Carrera Chronograph Calibre 1887 300 SLR can be counted as one of the best Tag Heuer SLR models. The Tag Heuer Carrera Chronograph Calibre 1887 300 SLR special edition watch has a 45 mm diameter case and it is made out of brushed solid stainless steel. This SLR version comes with a shiny steel bezel which has a tachymeter scale engraved on it. The fact that the watch comes with a bracelet provides the wearer the liberty to use the watch for elegant but also for more casual outfits. The oversized screw in crown will also provide the same style as the one on the genuine, making this watch again a well-crafted accessory. Compared with the genuine Tag Heuer SLR, the replica watch from this picture is very similar. Just as the authentic model, its oversized 45 mm case is made from a very durable and thick brushed stainless steel, the bezel is shiny and it has the indexes on its surface. In terms of its functionality, the left and right side buttons of this knockoff work just as the ones of the genuine watch- the left one controls the inner bezel and the right side ones control the small dials and date window.
One of the best design details of the Tag Heuer SLR is that even though it is a very complex and modern super car inspired watch, it has a very clean dial that is beautifully complemented by a sapphire crystal. When you look at the watch, the first thing you notice is that it has a very easy to read dial layout that feels like the basic inspiration for the latest Carrera Calibre 1887 models.
The Tag Heuer SLR Replica has the beautiful polished hands, the amazing finish on the bezel and an accurate tachymeter that can actually be used. Below the 12 o’clock marker there are the Mercedes Benz and Tag Heuer logos, the small dials are located at 3, 6 and 9 o’clock position and between the 7 and 8 o’clock markers there is the small date window. If you put this replica and the genuine Tag Heuer SLR Replica side by side probably very few people will know the difference between them, and those who will probably know a lot about watches or work for the actual brand. The genuine Tag Heuer Carrera Chronograph Calibre 1887 300 SLR special edition watch is equipped with a Calibre 17 movement. This is one of the very complex and precise Tag Heuer personalized Swiss ETA 2894 automatic chronograph. A good replica like this is pretty hard to find and even the quality of the materials used is outstanding and probably the main reason why the watch looks so amazing in the first place.
The genuine Tag Heuer SLR watch costs about $7,000 and it is a considerably rare timepiece. For those on a budget and even those who don’t feel comfortable to spend a great amount of money on a watch but still want to get that high end feeling, this replica watch is great. It is well made enough to look just like the original and it seems to have been crafted with great detail and precision.
