Description
Celebrate the Swiss Maison’s ties to space exploration with the TAG Heuer Carrera Astronomer. Inspired by John Glenn’s historic Friendship 7 mission in 1962—during which he wore a modified Heuer stopwatch on his wrist—, this 39mm timepiece reimagines the moonphase complication in a sleek and modern design.
