Porsche presented the 911 Carrera RS 2.7 at the Paris Motor Show in October 1972. The nameplate is among the most important Porsches of all time. It is the first 911 to carry the name RS, which stands for Rennsport or racing sport in German. It is also the first 911 to carry the Carrera name and the first series production model with front and rear spoilers, earning its “Ducktail” nickname. The RS is also designed as a homologation model and was the fastest German production car of its time.
To celebrate the momentous introduction of the Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7, luxury watchmaker Tag Heuer presents a pair of limited Carrera watches – a tribute to a car that changed the racing world.

The Ducktail 911 is available in 27 vibrant colors that go with the heady 70s theme. To reflect this, the special edition Tag Heuer Carrera watches are available in two colorways – the iconic Grand Prix White combined with red accents or blue. The car’s two-tone aesthetic inspired Tag Heuer tribute watches.
Both watches are special versions of the 42mm Tag Heuer Carrera Chronograph. It features the company’s most advanced movement, the in-house Heuer Caliber 02. The caseback presents the movement through a sapphire crystal case, with the oscillating weight customized to represent Porsche’s steering wheel.
The blue version comes with a polished steel case, as well as rhodium-plated indexes, hour and minute hands. The dial is in smooth white opaline, while the case comes with a textile strap with the signature color band. Meanwhile, the case of the red version is made of 18k 5N rose gold, as are the crown, pushers and case back. The bracelet, meanwhile, is a red alligator strap, finished with a pink gold pin buckle.
The Tag Heuer Carrera x Porsche RS 2.7 Limited Edition tribute chronographs have different prices from each other. The blue version comes with a price tag of $7,750 and is already sold out at the time of this writing. The red version is priced at $23,550.
