A major milestone for TAG Heuer’s chronograph expertise: New Carrera Split-Seconds Chronograph

February 16th, 2026

W. Kodak Jewelers is proud to be an authorized retailer of TAG Heuer timepieces.

Unveiled during LVMH Watch Week 2026, Carrera Split-Seconds Chronograph, is a highly advanced rattrapante timepiece that elevates the legendary TAG Heuer Carrera line. Designed for collectors seeking elite mechanical performance, this model introduces split-seconds chronograph functionality to the modern Carrera family, allowing the wearer to measure two elapsed times simultaneously with exceptional precision.

High-Performance Swiss Engineering

Crafted in a lightweight yet durable 42mm Grade 5 titanium case, this Carrera balances strength, comfort, and contemporary design. A curved sapphire crystal enhances dial depth while maintaining excellent legibility. The dedicated pusher at 9 o’clock activates the split-seconds mechanism, a complication admired in haute horlogerie for its technical complexity.

At its core is the Calibre TH81-01 automatic movement, developed in collaboration with Vaucher Manufacture Fleurier. Operating at a high frequency of 36,000 vibrations per hour (5 Hz), it delivers outstanding accuracy along with an impressive 65-hour power reserve. The movement’s refined finishing is visible through the sapphire caseback, reflecting TAG Heuer’s commitment to advanced chronograph craftsmanship.
