This is really a fantastic looking watch, beautifully elegant with good wristpresence !! You want to be seen with it on the wrist ;-)

Great lug ends plus cool nearly vintage top and belt lines towards the shiny polished case.

DC do you know who designed the piece, was it Christof Behling? He is such a great watch designer brindgeing between modernity and past !

The angled polished bezel creates a nice contrast to the starburst finished dial with the nicely recessed subdials with concentric ridges, very threedimensional...

The indexes have such a nice size and the stronger angeled side will mirrow interesting reflections lik on the vintage Carrears.

Crown and pushers are nicely integrated as well and have great proportions.

I like the name Carrera in red and that the Chronograph hand meets every 60 seconds number 80 is a great story for the celebrations of the big creator Jack Heuer !

I believe what we see here is the photo of a mock up possibly without movement which would explain the gap between dial and tension ring.

Thank you Mark for posting very interesting !

Cheers
