At Watches and Wonders 2024, TAG Heuer debuted a new panda-style iteration of its Carrera Glassbox.

The stainless steel Carrera Glassbox chronograph from TAG Heuer underscores the company’s effort to deliver timepieces that are timeless — versus the merry-go-round of designs we saw during the previous era.

As cliche as it might sound, TAG Heuer should be (and appears to be) building core watch models that people remember (Carrera and Aquaracer in particular), to rival or at least compete alongside the likes of revered models such as the Submariner, Speedmaster, Seamaster, GMT-Master II, and Daytona.

From the 39 mm x 13.86 mm stainless steel case, with the bezel-less “Glassbox” design, to the 7753SN-inspired aesthetics and the excellent 80-hour caliber TH20-00 automatic column wheel and vertical clutch movement — this is a watch worth consideration.

The TAG Heuer Carrera Glassbox “Panda” (Ref. CBS2216.BA0041) is delivered on a three-row integrated stainless steel bracelet, is water-resistant to 100 meters, and retails for $6,650.
