TAG Heuer Grand Carrera Singapore Grand Prix GMT watch
Celebrating the world’s first Formula 1 night race in Singapore, TAG Heuer has created a Singapore Grand Prix edition of its premium Grand Carrera timepiece. The model’s production is limited to only 150 watches and it’s no wonder that the unit No.1 was auctioned at a price of S$40,000, which is about $27,700 USD.
The watch features the famous British Racing Green color scheme, which is a nice change of style from Grand Carrera’s normal black and red color combination. While its bezel and dial are deep black, its second hand, leather strap stitching and the GMT marker are green.
The TAG Heuer Grand Carrera Singapore Grand Prix GMT watch sports a COSC-certified Calibre 8RS automatic movement, is water resistant to 100 meters, and features an Omega-style deployant button with push-button release.

I managed to get hold of one (No:42 of 150) and I am really pleased with it. Really unique piece of history as well as a beautiful watch. I know people who have bought one and it has never been worn..It seems such a waste.
