The BOR bracelet also improved the fit. The end link actually sits behind the lug’s end, allowing the bracelet to begin falling earlier. The links themselves are also on the shorter side, creating more pivot points across the bracelet. The end result is a silky, flowy bacelet that doesn’t fight the natural shape of your wrist. One caveat, however, is that there is no micro-adjustment on the clasp.
The TH20-04 caliber is worth mentioning as well. A column-wheel chronograph, it features 31-jewels, a date, a tide/moonphase indicator, a frequency of 28,800 bph, and an 80-hour power reserve. The 80-hour reserve stands out, as even 72-hour chronographs are uncommon.
In fairness, my experience with the Carrera Seafarer was very short, so I can’t comment on what it’s like to wear it in everyday situations, which is a truer test. With that said, of the watches I saw at LVMH’s Watch Week, it’s the model that left the biggest impression. I recall when the “glass box” Carreras were first introduced in 2023, I came away from the meeting somewhat in awe. I felt that they were the best example of a modernized take on a vintage watch I had seen. They still are. They clearly refer to the past, and pay due respect to it, and yet feel completely contemporary. The Seafarer, at least visually speaking, does this as well. The vintage cues are unmistakable, stronger than on the mainline versions, and yet they don’t look artificial in the new case. The liberties with it worked out, creating a new design worthy of its vaunted name.
The Carrera Seafarer is priced at $8,800. That’s a lot, and there’s no way around it, though it is in keeping with Carrera pricing. I wish TAG’s pricing model competed with Tudor rather than Omega, leaving Zenith as the higher four-figure to low five-figure brand within the LVMH structure. That would make them a more unique offering within the industry. But hey, that’s just my two cents. TAG Heuer
