# Timelessly Stylish Watch Models This Limited-Edition TAG Heuer Carrera Celebrates 160 Years By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2020-01-17 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tag-heuer-carrera References: [uncrate](https://uncrate.com/tag-heuer-carrera-160-years-silver-watch/) & [tagheuer](https://www.tagheuer.com/en-us/news/tag-heuer-carrera-limited-edition-celebrating-160-years-of-history) This TAG Heuer Carrera timepiece is a new limited-edition accessory created by the brand as a watch that celebrates the iconic original in a demure manner. The reissued 2447S timepiece celebrates the 160th anniversary of the watch model, but has been expertly updated with a number of accents to make it a model all its own. This includes a slightly larger casing, a domed sapphire glass and a case shape that's marginally different from the original to give it a bit of modernized styling. The TAG Heuer Carrera timepiece is finished with a black leather alligator strap and limited to just 1,860 examples each priced at $6,450 each. The watch identifies the maintained popularity of [classic timepiece styles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/laureato-fifty), despite the rise in adoption rates of [smartwatches and other wearables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tag-heuer-timepiece). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.5/10 - Popularity: 31% | Activity: 4% | Freshness: 9% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/watches) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Classic Timepiece Styles:** An opportunity for watch brands to create limited-edition models that celebrate iconic originals with updated accents. - **Retro-inspired Watch Designs:** A chance for brands to reissue vintage watch models with modernized styling elements, appealing to nostalgia-seeking consumers. - **Sustained Demand for Traditional Watches:** Despite the popularity of smartwatches, there remains a market for classic timepieces, creating opportunities for luxury watch brands. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Luxury Watch:** Luxury watch brands can take advantage of the sustained demand for traditional timepieces by offering limited-edition models with modernized features. - **Fashion Accessories:** The popularity of classic timepiece styles presents an opportunity for fashion accessories brands to incorporate vintage-inspired watch designs into their product offerings. - **Collectibles:** Limited-edition watches celebrating iconic designs can attract collectors, allowing the collectibles market to tap into the sustained demand for traditional timepieces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Midcentury-Inspired Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tag-heuer-carrera-glassbox-chronograph.md) - [Striking Monochromatic Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tag-heuer-carrera-tourbillon.md) - [Dual-Time Motorsport Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tag-heuer-carrera-chronograph-extreme-sport.md) - [Branded Racing Smartwatches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tag-heuer-timepiece.md) - [Lunar New Year Chronographs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carrera-chronograph-year-of-the-fire-horse.md) - [Outback-Inspired Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aquaracer-solargraph-sundowner.md) - [History-Honoring Collaborative Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carrera-seafarer.md) - [Collaborative Racing-Themed Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/formula-1-kith.md) - [Racer-Honoring Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carrera-chronograph-tourbillon-x-senna.md)
