"In 1996, (Heuer was now TAG Heuer) the brand launched a hand-wound mechanical
chronograph that remained true to the very first Carrera models of 1964:
- Chronograph with three registers as well as a date display window in contrast
to the former version
- Uncluttered dial
- 1/5 th of a second graduation scale on the flange
- Blue decimal scale on the dial
- Beveled, « baton » pointers, both slender and elegant
- Crown at 3 o’clock
- Over-sized chronograph push-buttons
- Crystal instead of Plexiglas"
The re-edition had plexiglas and didn't have a date window. Oversized pushers?
So much good info about pre-TAG Carreras and they fluffed it when it came to a recent model!
