TAG Heuer Carrera Glassbox Panda: A Racing Icon Reimagined
The TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph CBS2216.BA0041 is the definitive contemporary “Panda” watch. By merging the revolutionary 39mm Glassbox construction with a vintage-inspired silver and black color palette, TAG Heuer has created a timepiece that honors the heritage of the 1968 Heuer 7753 SN while pushing the limits of modern manufacturing.
Visual Audit: The “Silver and Noir” Aesthetic
Our visual audit confirms a bezel-free architecture where the domed sapphire crystal meets the tachymeter scale, creating a panoramic viewing angle unique to the Glassbox series.
- Silver Sunray Dial: A brilliant metallic silver base with a radial sunray finish that catches and reflects light.
- Black Azuré Sub-Dials: Twin chronograph registers at 3 and 9 o’clock featuring a deep black, circular-grained finish and striking red-lacquered hands.
- Curved Flange: A black outer ring housing the tachymeter scale, integrated seamlessly beneath the crystal curve.
Material Verification: Stainless Steel & Sapphire
Built for the track and the boardroom, the CBS2216.BA0041 utilizes high-grade materials that balance weight, comfort, and scratch resistance.
- Stainless Steel Case: A 39mm fine-brushed and polished case with the Carrera’s signature angular lugs.
- Three-Row Bracelet: A chic, resilient steel bracelet featuring brushed and polished links with a double safety folding clasp.
- Glassbox Domed Sapphire: A high-profile crystal with double anti-reflective treatment that serves as the watch’s “bezel.”
Mechanical Functionality: Manufacture Calibre TH20-00
The heart of this Carrera is an in-house manufacture movement that represents the next generation of TAG Heuer’s chronograph engineering.
- 80-Hour Power Reserve: Industry-leading autonomy ensures the watch stays powered for over three full days.
- Bidirectional Winding: An upgraded rotor system that winds in both directions for faster energy accumulation.
- Column Wheel Chronograph: Professional-grade mechanical engagement for smooth, precise timing of racing intervals.
