      <p><span><a href="https://www.hommessingapore.com/culture/tag-heuer-f1-monaco-grand-prix-80th-edition-celebration-event" target="_blank" rel="noopener">TAG Heuer</a>&rsquo;s romance with racing involves not only motorsports but also regattas, with the Skipper being the chronograph that sails the high seas. Historically tied to the </span><span><em>Intrepid</em>&rsquo;s </span><span>legendary title defence during the 1967 America&rsquo;s Cup, the nautical timekeeper is derived from the celebrated <a href="https://www.hommessingapore.com/watches/ryan-gosling-stars-in-tag-heuer-short-film-the-chase-for-carrera" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Carrera</a> original and is distinguished by its colourful livery. Now, after a 40-year hiatus, the cult classic returns as a &ldquo;glassbox&rdquo; model to better showcase its handsome maritime looks.</span></p>

<p><span>The coveted &ldquo;glassbox&rdquo; feature is a hit with collectors, and its domed and bezel-free design has been improved for the Carrera&rsquo;s 60th anniversary, now curving seamlessly into the case and incorporating the indexes and flange into its curvature. The sloping seconds scale can also be read from a wider range of angles, which, together with the perfectly placed chronograph counters, ensures that watch legibility stands on solid sea legs.</span></p>

      <p><span>As with all &ldquo;glassbox&rdquo; models, the Skipper&rsquo;s dial naturally becomes the visual centrepiece. Its compelling colour palette&nbsp;</span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; letter-spacing: 0px;">continues to be the biggest draw, from the circular brushed main dial in signature Carrera blue, to the pop of Intrepid Teal, Lagoon Green and Regatta Orange on the 15-minute countdown register. Unlike its vintage namesake, the &ldquo;Skipper&rdquo; text is now reframed within the hour counter, while &ldquo;Carrera&rdquo; takes its position above the TAG Heuer logo. Also new is the date window tucked neatly under the seconds subdial, which is rendered nearly invisible to give the dial much-needed room to breathe amid the wealth of details.</span></p>
      <p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; letter-spacing: 0px;">In addition to receiving the ergonomically elegant 39mm case of modern Carreras, the new Skipper is equipped with the TH20-06 automatic movement, which is derived from the flagship TH20-00 chronograph calibre but swaps out the 30-minute counter for a regatta-appropriate 15-minute one. The watch is finished with a sturdy deployment strap in navy blue sailcloth, wearing just as comfortably on open waters or in the yachting clubhouse.</span></p>
