Overview
Clean automatic sports watch inspired by the historic Carrera collection.
History and context
The Carrera name originated in the 1960s and is linked to motorsport-inspired legibility. This modern date model translates that identity into a simple everyday watch.
Design explained
A clean dial, faceted markers, slim bezel and straightforward three-hand layout emphasize legibility rather than retro decoration.
Movement and technology
The automatic Calibre 5 provides conventional, serviceable three-hand operation and a date display.
Manufacturing
Swiss-made stainless-steel case and bracelet with sapphire crystal and 100 m water resistance.
Fit and wearing experience
At 39 mm with moderate thickness, it suits many small and medium wrists and slides comfortably under a cuff.
