Tag Heuer Carrera Chronograph x Team Ikuzawa

The Tag Heuer Carrera Chronograph x Team Ikuzawa by Bamford pays homage to Japanese racing legend Tetsu Ikuzawa. Ikuzawa, a pioneer Japanese driver in European motorsports during the '60s and '70s, inspired this collaboration. The 42mm non-"Glass Box" Carrera chronograph boasts the Heuer Calibre 02 Movement and 100m water resistance. The watch sports a red and white dial, echoing Team Ikuzawa's signature colors. It features "white opaline" dial, red accents, and prominent Team Ikuzawa logo. Limited to 100 numbered pieces, it's exclusively available in Japanese boutiques and TAG Heuer's Japanese online store.

The co-branded design, though bold, captivates with its fusion of racing heritage and Japanese streetwear, guided by Mai Ikuzawa's design expertise. The collaboration exudes a classic yet modern appeal, akin to vintage double-signed company "gift" watches. Racing enthusiasts, especially those keen on racing culture and streetwear, will likely appreciate this unique offering. The popularity of Mai and Tetsu Ikuzawa in Japan suggests a swift sell-out, prompting enthusiasts to act fast to secure this limited-edition timepiece.
