Fascinating tease from TAG Heuer this morning as an Instagram story . . . spotted at 6:22 AM.
Here's what I see -- black-on-black Carrera; Tachymeter scale on the dial; looks like three register / tri-compax layout (hours on the left / minutes on the right / running seconds at the bottom); collaboration with Fragment Design, the design shop of Hiroshi Fujiwara. Assuming it will be the Heuer 02 movement. Size looks reasonable -- assume under 40 mm.
Could it be the homage to this amazing vintage Heuer Carrera, Refernece 2447 NT? This is a rare Carrera, with only a sample or two seen each year (at most). See two samples of the Heuer Carrera 2447 NT, below.

At last -- the Heritage Carrera we have all been waiting for, in the "Year of the Carrera"? / 55th Anniversary?
