TAG Heuer Launches Carrera 1887 SpaceX
We review the new TAG Heuer Carrera 1887 SpaceX .
By Calibre 11, 2 October 2012
Special Edition TAG Heuer Carerra 1887 Space X commemorating the 50th anniversary of the first Swiss Watch in space. In February 1962 US Astronaut John Glenn piloted the "Friendship 7" spacecraft on its triple orbit of the Earth. This was a first for NASA and was a pivotal moment in the race to reach the moon in the 1960s.
Glenn was equipped with a Heuer 2915A Stopwatch that was strapped to his arm with a makeshift band to protect it from the obvious stresses of space exploration. Inspiration for the Space X is drawn directly from the Heuer 2915 A and can be seen in the design of the dial.

As a certified TAG Heuer dealer, all of our watches are supplied securely packed in official brand presentation boxes with stamped and dated documentation including the manufacturer's 2 year international warranty.
If your watch has a linked bracelet, we can adjust the size before it's sent so that it fits straight out of the box.
On placing your order you will receive a confirmation email - please reply to this email with your wrist measurement (in mm) and we'll make the necessary adjustments before despatch. Any links that have been removed will be sent with your watch.
