TAG Heuer releases a new Carrera in tribute to the boxer, following the launch of the collection last year

TAG Heuer has launched a new watch that pays tribute to legendary boxer and activist Muhammad Ali, following the first TAG Heuer Carrera Muhammad Ali special editions from 2016.
The new Carrera Calibre 5 Muhammad Ali Limited Edition is a 43mm watch in stainless steel with two crowns: one at 3 o?clock for setting the time, the other at 10 o?clock for rotating the internal bezel.

There are two rings – the outer, in red, for timing 3-minute professional heavyweight boxing bouts; the inner, in cream, for timing 2-minute amateur bouts. Each ring is interspersed with black markers for the 1-minute break betweens rounds.
 The collection is based on the 1957 Heuer Ring-Master, below, a stopwatch with a total of seven rings that could be swapped around in order to time different sports events.
The dial design on the new edition remains similar to the Ring-Master, albeit with a new navy blue rather than black dial (the 2016 version featured a black dial). One noticeable detail: the red ring can time up to the traditional 15 rounds, even though modern boxing matches are usually limited to 12 rounds.

The new watch also features a date window at 6 o?clock, and it comes on a choice of blue or black strap (priced at £2,700), or a steel bracelet (£2,500). Inside is the automatic calibre 5, with a 38-hour power reserve.
