The Tag Heuer Carrera Festival of Speed special Edition features a textured dial with a hobnail pattern and snailed chronograph subdials in British Racing Green. It’s specifically a shade known as Goodwood Green. The tradition of national racing colours dates back to 1902 and the Gordon Bennet cup – Britain was a late addition to the competition and so the national colours of red, white and blue had already been claimed by other countries and so we ended up with green.

This handsome timepiece is presented in a 44mm brushed steel case and fastens securely with a black alligator leather strap with tone-on-tone stitching.
