Tag Heuer Carrera Black Mother-of-Pearl Watch For Japan Only

Tag Heuer Carrera Black Mother Of Pearl Limited Edition Watch

Given the power of the Internet and all that comes with it, getting this watch outside of Japan should not be a giant issue these days save for the fact that there will only be 600 pieces of this limited edition watch available. Tag Heuer treats Japan - one of its best markets - with special watches or first releases relatively often. Here is one limited watch that you might wish was available closer to home. Tag Heuer has taken the popular Carrera watch and placed a black mother of pearl dial on the face - instead of the standard black dial. The result is a decorative enhancement of what is essentially a retro chronograph watch with a tachymetre scale (for measuring speed). The same concept lays with the Omega Speedmaster and Rolex Daytona watches. It is a timepiece concept that has worked well for decades.

In steel and at 44mm wide, this special Carrera Black limited edition watches contains the same Calibre 16 automatic chronograph movement as the maintstream Carrera watch line does. Even with the gleam of the black mother of pearl face, the watch does not lose any of its inherent functionality or masculine prowess. For the serious Tag Heuer collector or guy who is overcome with passion for this watch, you'll have to make special arrangements to find one. The watch is slated to be available starting in July 2009 at select watch boutiques and Tag Heuer shops in Japan.
