As a wrist accessory, this gent’s watch is stylish and versatile. It has just the right dimension to makes it looks good on any of wrist size, with an elegant style that is not to prim so that you can conveniently pairing it with not only formal attires, but also those that are more relaxed like what you used to wear when hanging out with friends. The color itself is quite "neutral" as well so that it would match seamlessly with anything, literally.
The TAG Heuer WV2116.FC6181 timepiece itself (and so does the Calibre 7 inside) is designed to be fairly rugged, by the use of enduring materials such as sapphire crystal as well as shock arbsorber mechanism, and it has a superb built construction that is watertight to 50 meters for practical sake. And speaking of functionality, you’d sure to appreciate its sophisticated offerings that are quite handy in many circumstance, which are a precise three hands, automatic date, and GMT complication that lets you to conveniently track a 2nd time zone on its flange in a handy 24-hour format.
A Closer Look at the Design

Encased by the high gloss bezel, is another sapphire crystal that is compared to the sapphire display at the other side, this one is a tad bit thicker, has a slightly domed profile instead of flat, and is further enhanced with an anti-reflective coating. Right below, just like its steel on steel sibling, this TAG Heuer WV2116.FC6181’s dial is bright and looks clean in White, fashioned in modern minimalist style with a well balanced layout, and has no "unnecessary details". You could say that it is designed with a clear purpose in mind, a good read-ability, which account the need of night visibility as well by featuring fluorescent materials.


TAG Heuer Calibre 7
Typical to the 39mm Carrera Twin Time, this TAG Heuer WV2116.FC6181 employs the Calibre 7, the watchmaker’s finely tuned self-winding movement that is both accurate and fairly rugged caliber, that is built (or personalized, to be exact) based on ETA 2892/A2 caliber.

Well, it quite often when a watchmaker took an ETA base movement, and did nothing but a minor "adjustments", say, decorating only perhaps? They tend to be a tad bit penurious by not revealing its exact specs. Doesn’t that much matter, though, as basically, even the base ETA 2892 does already a good movement by itself. There is no "standard grade" for it, which means that TAG’s Calibre 7 that is built based on it could performs at least at the rate of an elaborate grade level, with an average rate of ±7 secs/day --which is quite a satisfactory for a mechanical automatic movement.
Thoughts and Pricing
Based on its pricing, you could say that this gent’s 39mm steel on leather White dial "three hands, GMT, and date" automatic timepiece is an entry level luxury, one with a good balance of price-quality ratio. The watch is stylish and versatile as an accessory, and it does work well with any men’s wrist, on either casual or formal dressing. In addition, being not too large, it would also looks good as well for women who are into a masculine flavored oversized wrist accessory. Not to mention its 50m water resistance.
The timepiece has no issue regarding read-ability thanks to the neat-and-balanced layout’s arrangement, florescent materials and sapphire. Furthermore, regarding the movement, we thought that by assuming for the worst, we left you with a possibility to expect that the movement is actually better than that. Regardless what of its grade actually might be, as far as we know, it is a fairly accurate and reliable one already.
Anyway, this TAG Heuer Carrera Twin Time WV2116.FC6181 is offered at an original manufacturer suggested retail price of $3,200.00, which is reasonable enough considering all of its quality offerings. Of course, being not a new release, you could expect to get it for less than its MSRP, say, maybe around 2 up to 2.5K.
