Few recent TAG Heuer releases display their motorsport influence as openly as its latest Team Ikuzawa collaboration. Only 150 examples of the Carrera Chronograph x Team Ikuzawa will be made, each individually numbered and developed with Bamford Watch Department.
This is the trio’s second watch together following their first collaboration in 2023. Its design looks back to the Heuer Roadmaster stopwatch, a historic racing instrument known for its bold graphics and easy-to-read display.
A 39mm Carrera Glassbox provides the base, with brushed and polished stainless steel surrounding a bezel-free domed sapphire crystal. That construction offers an uninterrupted view of the dial and helps bring its stopwatch-inspired layout into focus.
Team Ikuzawa’s colors take over the white Clou de Paris dial, where printed black indexes are joined by bright red hands and chronograph details. A black flange with a white minute track adds contrast, while the date numerals also appear in the team’s signature red.
Team Ikuzawa’s name occupies the six o’clock position, taking the space normally used for a running seconds display. Power comes from TAG Heuer’s automatic TH20-10 chronograph movement, which can be seen through the sapphire caseback.
More racing references appear around the case, including a red lacquered ring on the crown. The back carries dedicated Team Ikuzawa and Bamford Watch Department markings alongside the individual number of each watch.
A seven-row steel bracelet comes fitted as standard, but buyers also receive two additional straps. One uses perforated white leather with red stitching inspired by racing gloves, while the red-and-white textile option references Team Ikuzawa’s historic livery.
Water resistance is rated at 100 metres, adding some everyday practicality to the limited edition. Available from July 2026, the watch costs £8,850 in the UK and $10,500 in the US.
Its bright colours and stopwatch-style layout leave little doubt about where the inspiration came from. Instead of relying on a subtle racing reference, this Carrera puts Team Ikuzawa’s motorsport identity directly on the dial.
