The Carrera CBN2A1M.FC6526, seen from the bench

The Carrera represents one of TAG Heuer's historic lines, developed in the 1960s as a sports chronograph. The reference CBN2A1M.FC6526 is equipped with the automatic Heuer 02 caliber with column-wheel chronograph function, hours, minutes, small seconds and date. The movement offers chronograph indications controlled by a column-wheel mechanism for greater precision in time measurement.

Frequently asked questions

What is the lug width of the TAG Heuer Carrera CBN2A1M.FC6526?

The lug width is 20mm. This measurement corresponds to the distance between the two spring bars that attach the strap to the case. The 20mm lug width is the standard for sports chronographs in this category and provides access to a wide selection of quality aftermarket straps.

Which strap is recommended for the TAG Heuer Carrera CBN2A1M.FC6526?

For this ceramic and stainless steel model, we recommend vegetable-tanned alligator (tobacco or black), robust grained calf leather, or black rubber for intensive sporting use. Alligator offers elegance and natural patina development over time, calf leather combines durability with refinement, and rubber ensures absolute robustness. Your choice depends on intended use and personal colour preferences.

How do you change the strap on the TAG Heuer Carrera CBN2A1M.FC6526?

The strap is changed using a spring bar removal tool or through a professional watchmaker. Place the watch on a protective mat, locate the lateral spring bars, apply gentle pressure with the tool to compress the internal spring and slide the bar outward. Repeat on the other side, then insert the new strap by reversing the procedure.

Which aftermarket straps are compatible with the CBN2A1M.FC6526?

All straps with a 20mm lug width are compatible with this model. Milano Straps offers a dedicated collection of straps in alligator, calf leather, NATO, and rubber, customisable in length, colour, initials and stitching thread. The Casati Milano atelier also provides bespoke solutions with personalised consultation.

How long does a leather strap last on a TAG Heuer Carrera?

A quality leather strap, with vegetable tanning and full-grain hide, typically lasts 4–6 years with regular use. Longevity depends on exposure to water, perspiration and direct sunlight. A shell cordovan strap, vegetable-tanned, can last even longer and improves aesthetically over time thanks to natural patina development. Milano Straps guarantees 18 months on all straps crafted by the Casati Milano atelier.
