The black dial re-edition is beautiful in its simplicity. A faithful reproduction of the 1964 original, not even the small 36mm size could stop the watch being a sales success.
Later models grew to 39mm and added “TAG Heuer” to the dial, but the manual-wind original is the one to get.

Maybe not a true “re-edition”, the Daytona rings look perfectly at home on the Carrera and make the link between the dial layout and a car dashboard even stronger.
Maybe it doesn’t have the heritage of the plain Black model, but to our eyes it’s the best looking of the re-editions.

It was a bold choice by TAG Heuer to launch a re-edition Carrera with a dial colour not even close to one that was offered in the 1960s.
Despite this, the boldness paid off, because this is probably the rarest of the 1964 re-editions today.
