What We Know
TAG Heuer has enlisted a cohort of collaborators for its latest limited-edition Carrera. This is the Rowing Blazers x Bamford TAG Heuer Carrera replica watches for sale, a colorful take on the Carrera inspired by vintage Heuer Yacht-Timers.
The collaboration takes vintage Heuer Yacht-Timers worn during regattas in the ’60s and ’70s as inspiration and adapts them to the modern Carrera’s 42mm case. The result is bright UK 1:1 fake TAG Heuer Carrera watches that seems like it’d fit right in at the local sailing club. It’s a natural fit for Rowing Blazers, the brand that’s changing the way people think about prep.
This specific vintage Heuer Yacht-Timer, owned by Jack Carslon (which he acquired from his pal Eric Wind) was the initial inspiration for the collab. Carlson immediately liked the design and saw the opportunity to revive it in a modern watch. Along the way, Bamford Watch Department also got involved in the design. The result is best replica TAG Heuer Carrera watches with a bright white dial and cross-hatched subdials with pastel colors inspired by the Yacht-Timers of old. It’s powered by luxury TAG Heuer copy watches’ Heuer 02 automatic chronograph caliber. As we’ve written before, it’s an impressive in-house column-wheel chronograph caliber offered at a reasonable cost. It’s a bit thick, but the downward-angled lugs of the Carrera case help to balance out its dimensions.
The Rowing Blazers x Bamford TAG Heuer Carrera replica watches wholesale is a limited edition of 99 examples with an MSRP of $8,900 and went on sale on Rowing Blazers’ website at 11:00 AM ET today, October 13.
What We Think
It seems we’re still at peak collab in the watch world. With three names on the dial and one more having a design credit, it sounds like there were a few cooks in the kitchen. This is nothing new for Rowing Blazers or Bamford. Just this morning, I went on a Target run to grab some toothpaste, and I couldn’t resist trying out a Rowing Blazers candle from its latest Target collaboration.
Luckily, the gaggle of collaborators hasn’t led to a confused design. It’s clean and cohesive, with clear callbacks to its vintage inspiration. It’s fun to see the collaborators push TAG Heuer to blend two parts of its history – the Swiss made fake TAG Heuer Carrera watches and its Yacht-Timers – that it might not otherwise.
It’s also another step into the world of watch collaborations for Rowing Blazers. The young fashion brand has done a trio of colorful Seiko collaborations, a limited-edition Zodiac, and a quietly released Tudor Black Bay 58. At $8,900, this is its most expensive effort yet. While it’s a bit bewildering to see a nearly 10 grand watch collaboration from the same brand I just bought a $10 candle from, if you zoom out there is a certain cohesiveness to the ethos and designs of everything Rowing Blazers has its hands in.
Of course, it also calls to mind the new TAG Heuer Skipper release from earlier this year, but that’s cheap super clone watches in regular production that utilizes TAG’s new, smaller 39mm “Glassbox” case. I might be partial to that Skipper, but the Rowing Blazers x Bamford Carrera has an appeal all its own.
