The Most Revolutionary Moon Phase Watch in 2025

Most people, upon first seeing this watch, are a bit confused: Is this a TAG Heuer? Is this a TAG Heuer Carrera? Indeed, in our traditional impression, the TAG Heuer Carrera series has been synonymous with racing, speed, passion, and performance since its introduction in 1963. The sudden appearance of such an elegant "astronomer" does seem a bit subversive. But in fact, as early as 1962, astronaut John Glenn wore a TAG Heuer 2915A chronograph, specially modified for this mission, aboard NASA's Friendship 7 spacecraft. On February 20, he completed the first human feat of orbiting the Earth three times. This chronograph also became the first wristwatch in space.

TAG Heuer's integration of a precise moon phase cycle into the Carrera collection, a symbol of passion, is not only a natural fit but also embodies TAG Heuer's unconventional, avant-garde brand DNA. While major brands have traditionally employed abstract artistic expressions to interpret moon phases, TAG Heuer has taken a different approach, opting to present the moon's true phases with clarity and precision. The seven "moons" at the center of the dial instantly capture the eye. These seven "moons" represent the moon's seven phases of waxing and waning throughout the month, indicated by a moon phase disc with an arrow pointer below. The disc moves one increment clockwise around 1:00 AM each day, ensuring synchronization with the moon's actual movement. While pointer-based moon phase displays like the "Astronomer" are not uncommon, TAG Heuer's implementation of this moon phase design is exceptionally rare in the history of watchmaking. 

The new Carrera "Astronomer" Moon Phase watch is available in three versions. The first features a silver dial and black moon phase disc, creating a classic panda color scheme. The second two versions are each limited to 500 pieces. One features a silver dial with a gray index ring and gray leather strap, embellished with turquoise luminescent material, creating a vibrant and modern and futuristic feel. The second limited edition features rose gold-plated hands, hour markers, and gold index ring, and is paired with a two-tone gold bracelet, giving it a luxurious feel. The 39mm case is a moderate size and features the classic Carrera shape, with a finely brushed and polished surface, sleek lugs, and is water-resistant to 100 meters.
