TAG Heuer unveiled a Special Edition of its Carrera Calibre 5 as a tribute to boxing legend Muhammad Ali.
The new TAG Heuer Carrera Calibre 5 “Ring Master” Tribute to Muhammad Ali was inspired by the famous Heuer Ring-Master watch currently on display in the TAG Heuer museum.
The original Ring-Master was equipped with 7 rings, each one featuring a different scale, including one for boxing.
The new model is characterised by an opaline black dial with white luminescent numerals, faceted hour and minute hands with luminescent indices and white gold colour lacquered seconds hand. It also features a rotary ring with scale showing 1-15 rounds of boxing. A printed Muhammad Ali’s signature, just above the date window at 6 o’clock, visually balances the TAG Heuer logo.
Offering water resistance to 100 metres / 330 feet, the 43 mm stainless steel case features an additional crown at 10 o’clock with a brilliant red lacquered line. This crown controls the rotary ring showing the rounds.
The back side displays an engraved portrait of Muhammad Ali with the inscription “Tribute to Muhammad Ali”.
The movement is the automatic TAG Heuer Calibre 5 beating at 28,800 vibrations per hours with a power reserve of 38 hours.
Matched to a perforated black leather strap with red stitching, the new TAG Heuer Carrera Calibre 5 “Ring Master” Tribute to Muhammad Ali (Ref. WAR2A11.FC6337) has a price of US$ 3,000.
