As part of its 2025 refresh of the Carrera line, TAG Heuer is updating its GMT offerings in the line with something far fresher and objectively more appealing. The previous Carrera GMT model, also dubbed the Twin-Time, was a simple blue offering with little contrast and even less personality. While the Carrera Date collection has never been a destination for excitement (especially the men’s offerings), the previous Twin-Time, released in 2021, seemed to be the standard-bearer for its lackluster aesthetic. It did nothing to make itself known, with a simple triangle GMT, an inverted bi-color 24-hour flange, and a rebranded Sellita GMT movement. The new Twin-Time moves the needle quite a bit. But it doesn’t start with the case. For Watches and Wonders 2025, TAG is remedying that with the US perfect replica TAG Heuer Carrera Date Twin-Time WDA2114.BA0043 watches, a made-over model that brings a teal dial, a new GMT hand, and an updated movement.
The Carrera case hasn’t been redesigned for this or any other best copy watches. Frankly, there’s no need. The Carrera case design is classic and has never been the weak point, even in these less exciting Date models. The stainless steel case remains 41mm across with the signature beveled, angular lugs with the brushed interior facet. The lug-to-lug here measures 47.5mm, while the thickness is 12.7mm, just under .5mm thicker than its predecessor. Sapphire crystals are used on the front and back, and the watch is water resistant to 100 meters. That half a millimeter likely won’t make much of a difference, so if you’re already familiar with how the Carrera Date fits, you won’t need to adjust expectations.
The bracelet, however, does receive an upgrade: While its overall design is unchanged and it still lacks a quick-release system, luxury fake TAG Heuer watches are introducing a new easy-change link system that allows for toolless bracelet sizing. The specific mechanics of this are unclear, but it means that sizing for the lay watch consumer doesn’t involve expense and a trip to the jeweler. Although the bracelet has a butterfly clasp with no signs of microadjustment, it does appear to include two half-links, which will aid in dialing in the size.
The dial is really where Swiss replica TAG Heuer watches have leveled up. The vibrant teal hue is appealing (the date window is color-matched), there’s tons of depth, and lots of contrast with some pops of color. The changes start at the periphery, with a bi-color 24-hour flange that has been rotated to have the 24 indicator back at the top and features silver and teal numbering to tie perfectly with the rest of the dial. The teal dial has a sunray finish and rhodium-plated applied Arabic numerals, with matching Super-LumiNova filled hands. While the numerals don’t have lume, the minute track between the dial and the flange appears to be fully lumed (let’s hope).
The “Twin-Time” text brings a pop of red, which is reasserted by a fully redesigned GMT hand. TAG says the long red pointer is a nod to prior GMT models, and the hand itself recalls a watchmaker’s tweezers. It reminds me of the Transamerica Pyramid, and in either case, it’s a huge improvement over the previous GMT hand. One other thing I want to call out is the date window. On the previous model, it felt cramped between a truncated 6 o’clock marker and the dial text. Here, it occupies the exact space the marker would and feels far more natural and thought out.
The movement has also been upgraded. Instead of a rebranded Sellita SW330-2, the high quality replica TAG Heuer Carrera Date Twin-Time watches now come equipped with the manufacture TH31-03 caliber. A chronometer version of this movement is used in the Aquaracer GMT and is exclusively produced by Sellita’s AMT customization arm. To be clear, this is a “caller” GMT movement, meaning the GMT hand, not the hour hand, is independently adjustable — and that’s ok, I promise. The TH31-03 comes with an impressive 80-hour power reserve at 28,800 vph.
Curiously, the Twin-Time is priced at several hundred dollars above the current price for the Aquaracer GMT on bracelet, which is a chronometer, has a bezel, and a three times the water resistance. That’s hard to reconcile, but I think this is finally a compelling GMT US cheap super clone watches from the Carrera line. This new design has color, style, and flair, all in the same recognizable Carrera case.
