For sale is my stunning TAG Heuer Carrera Calibre 1 Manual Watch (WV3010.EB0025), a highly sought-after model from a limited 2008 production run of just 6,000 pieces worldwide. 

The WV3010 uses the Calibre 1; a hand-wound movement based on the ETA/Unitas 6498 housed in a 43mm Stainless Steel Case and displayed through the Sapphire Crystal exhibition case back. At a time when most buyers expected automatic movements, TAG Heuer deliberately chose a manual movement to appeal to enthusiasts who enjoyed the daily interaction of winding their watch. 

The watch features a clean three-hand layout with small seconds displayed at 6 o'clock, echoing the simplicity of early Carrera models from the 1960s which were closely associated with motor racing. The "Clous de Paris" dial texture, minimalist design, and lack of chronograph functions were intended to give the watch a more classic and elegant character. 

Originally purchased on the 16th July 2012, this watch is supplied as a full and original set, including the warranty card, instruction manuals, luxury presentation box (Black protective box and white sleeve not shown in photos) and purchase receipt from TAG Heuer. With all dates matching, this offers unquestionable provenance and confidence for the next owner. The case back is uniquely numbered 5680/6000 confirming its place within this limited production run. 

The Carrera is one of TAG Heuer's most iconic designs, combining timeless styling with a reliable Swiss manual movement. Its clean black dial, exhibition case back and versatile design make it equally at home in the office, at formal events or as an everyday luxury watch.

Key Features

Purchased New in 2012, Included in the Sale

Condition:

The watch presents extremely well and remains a superb example of this desirable Carrera model. It has been carefully worn and shows only light signs of use commensurate with age. The sapphire crystal on both faces is unmarked and the watch is currently running strongly. The Crown winds smoothly and quietly and comes to a firm stop when fully wound. Power reserve from fully wound is approx. 42 hours. 

The rubber strap is in excellent condition and is in the original uncut length. The Crocodile Leather strap (pics 18-20), whilst in good condition, is showing signs  of age related deterioration around the lug area. 

Please study the photos carefully as they form part of the description. Service history is unknown and reflected in the pricing, the watch is otherwise operating well and being sold on this basis.

Finding a Carrera 1 WV3010 with the TAG Heuer receipt, full documentation, deployment clasps and original crocodile leather strap is increasingly rare. The limited production run and complete provenance make this an attractive proposition for both collectors and enthusiasts looking for a classic Swiss manual watch.

The watch will be securely packaged and dispatched via a fully insured and tracked service.
