X Factory Replica TAG Heuer Carrera Heuer 01 Full Ceramic Watch

Regarding Tag Heuer role-playing watches, they can be divided into two categories, the first is the X Factory replica watches, and the second is what we usually call the "Yuandan" which is equipped with the original Swiss movement. I have already introduced the" Yuandan" Tag Heuer in one post, these watches are well-made and have attracted the interest of many people. Even one of the Aquaracer models, previously one of the most popular models from the V6 factory, had a Swiss movement, the "Yuan Dan".

In recent years, after the closure of the V6 factory, I have seen very few new Tag Heuer role-playing watches on the market, so today, I picked up a previously made Tag Carrera role-playing watch to review. It was produced by the X Factory in 2020, it is a very high-quality role-playing watch, and the X Factory did a great job. Many people don't know about X Factory's background, as I said in another thread it's a branch of the VS company, just like the Z Factory company's branch is PPF. So the cosplay watch market is controlled by two watch companies, VS and Z Factory.

This ceramic Tag Heuer Carrera Heuer 01 role-playing watch from XF has an all-matte black look, with a genuine ceramic case and bracelet, and a skeleton dial that enhances the uniqueness of the watch, making it very close to an authentic roleplaying watch. However, the watch is heavy.

The case measures 43mm and is 17mm thick, and I like the brushed finish of the case and bracelet, which feels subtle to the touch, and every edge of the case is well finished, with no unwanted metal-cutting burrs, and smooth to the touch. Examining the case from the side, the lugs are molded into the case and the bezel is pushed down into the case by the machine. The two pushers at 2 and 4 o'clock have a real function, they control the chronograph function.

This watch dial is not available in any color other than silver and grey, but it is also highly readable thanks to its skeleton design and large hour markers, making it easy to get the time. Some movement components are visible through the front dial, such as the date wheel, with the current date displayed in a window between 3 and 4 o'clock. A smaller sub-dial at 9 o'clock is used to display the small seconds, while two larger sub-dials at 6 and 9 o'clock are used for the hour counter and minute counter.

This role-play watch dial is flawed compared to the genuine article, as the skeleton structure is difficult to replicate.

By the way, the case is thick because X Factory has added extra plates based on a Chinese chrono movement, the accuracy of this clone movement is acceptable, but please do not use the chronograph function too often, the Asia 7750 movement is fragile.
