TAG Heuer Collaborates with Team Ikuzawa Again: Introducing the Carrera Glassbox Chronograph, A Nod to Dynamic Japanese Racing History

A new chapter gets engraved in the tale of luxury Swiss watches as TAG Heuer revives its partnership with the historically valued Team Ikuzawa. This collaboration has given birth to a limited-edition model, the all-new 39mm Carrera Glassbox Chronograph. This stunning timepiece takes inspiration from Team Ikuzawa’s legendary Roadmaster stopwatches of the ’70s and ’80s, symbolizing the unforgettable racing history of Japan.

Team Ikuzawa is no stranger among ardent motorsport enthusiasts. Founded by Tetsu Ikuzawa, the celebrated Japanese racing driver, the team was recognized for its distinctive red and white colors and the indomitable racing spirit. Today, the legacy is carried forward by Mai Ikuzawa, who has creatively transcended the essence of the team’s heritage into a cultural extravaganza encompassing motorsport, design, fashion, and luxury.

The dial, featuring a Clou de Paris texture and finished in white, reminisces Team Ikuzawa’s historic racing colors and harks back to those Roadmaster timing instruments that originally led to the conception of this project. Special attention was paid to the color palette where red accents steal the show, featured on the logos, and even the minute and hour hands.

As for the mechanics, the automatic TH20-10 chronograph movement powers this masterpiece, offering an impressive 80-hour power reserve. This intriguing Carrera Glassbox Chronograph exemplifies two intertwined worlds - the world of influential horology and the fascinating realm of high-speed motorsport, making it a must-have for watch connoisseurs and racing enthusiasts alike.
