TAG Heuer Grand Carrera Calibre 36 RS2 Caliper Chronograph Ti2

The new TAG Heuer Grand Carrera Calibre 36 RS2 Caliper Chronograph Ti2 watch was first revealed less than a month ago at the Baselworld’09 trade fair. Sporting a mid-sized -by today’s standards- 43mm black titanium case, the watch is powered by the same Calibre 36 RS COSC-certified movement that beats at 36,000 vibrations per minute and allows for both measuring and actually displaying 1/10 of a second time intervals.

Style wise, this is the same Calibre 36 RS Caliper Chronograph from the last year. It still features the same oversize crown at 10 o’clock and both models sport the same dials.

The Ti2’s only difference seems to be the material employed to make the watch. Unlike the previous model, which was crafted of normal carbide-coated titanium, this one is made of much harder and more scratch-resistant Grade 2 titanium (hence the Ti2 index) metal. The refreshed model is worn on a titanium bracelet, but you can also order the watch with a rubber strap when it starts selling on September 2009.
