Carrera Chronograph Extreme Sport Tourbillon Lucha Libre
Reference CBU5084.FT6272
Launched in 2025, the TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph Extreme Sport Tourbillon “Lucha Libre” CBU5084.FT6272 is a limited series of just 50 uniquely numbered watches. This timepiece is part of the Carrera Extreme Sport collection and features a chronograph movement with a tourbillon that draws inspiration from Lucha Libre, a vibrant style of professional wrestling that emerged in Mexico in the early 1900s, becoming a significant aspect of the nation's cultural identity. Known for its masked performers, or luchadores, this wrestling art form intertwines athleticism, dramatic flair, and deep-rooted tradition, with masks symbolizing identity, mythology, and personal stories. These masks, often representing animals or legendary figures, carry profound cultural importance, moving beyond mere costumes. The thematic use of color and graphic design elements plays a key role in the aesthetics of this model.
The watch boasts a 44 mm case crafted from grade 2 titanium, adorned with a black DLC finish, and features a forged carbon bezel, upholding the sturdy design principles of the Extreme Sport series while offering 100 meters of water resistance. Both the dial and case back are shielded by sapphire crystals, with the back showcasing specific engravings related to this edition. The skeleton dial presents vibrant green and fuchsia highlights, incorporating a distinct Lucha Libre mask design in the chronograph hour counter. This openwork structure not only includes chronograph features but also reveals a tourbillon and date display, with hands and markers designed for optimal legibility against its intricate background. At its heart is the automatic Calibre TH20-09, an in-house chronograph movement with a tourbillon, showcasing advanced functionality for hours, minutes, seconds, date, and chronograph capabilities, making it the most sophisticated within the Carrera Extreme Sport series. Complementing its striking look, the timepiece comes with a black rubber strap seamlessly integrated into the design, fastened with a grade 2 titanium folding clasp. While it possesses unique aesthetic elements and is produced in limited numbers, the watch fundamentally shares its technical base with other Carrera Extreme Sport chronographs equipped with tourbillons.
