Now, we continue this history of the Carrera chronograph, picking up with the sixth generation, introduced in 1996, and continuing to the models introduced in 20, which are drawn from the twelfth and thirteenth generations.

In our posting covering the vintage Heuer Carrera chronographs, we covered the five generations of Carrera chronographs produced over the period from 1963, when the first Carrera was introduced, to 1985 when the last Carrera appeared in a TAG Heuer catalog, before a break in production. The first five generations of the Carrera were comprised of the first generation, the original Carreras in traditional round cases, the second generation, C-Shape cases introduced in 1969 to house the new automatic movements, the third generation, four barrel-shaped Carreras, powered by the Calibre 12 movement, the fourth generation, introduced in 1978 to house a series of quartz-powered Carreras, and the fifth generation, two chronographs introduced in 1984, which were powered by the Lemania 5100 movement.
