Design & Heritage:
This commemorative model celebrates 50 years since John Glenn's 1962 Mercury-Atlas 6 mission, during which he wore a Heuer stopwatch strapped to his wrist—marking the brand’s entry into space exploration. The SpaceX Carrera modernizes that legacy with a redesigned dial featuring dual spacecraft illustrations and clean vintage-style hands, housed in the elegant yet sporty Carrera case.
It captures the very essence of mid-century design with a contemporary flair, paying homage not only to Heuer’s historic spacefaring achievements but also to SpaceX’s milestone 2012 mission—where astronauts again wore TAG Heuer during orbital operations.
