CV201V.BA0794
Released sometime between 2010-2012 this series of limited editions are stock CV2010 Carreras, personalized for three World Champion (now ex-) McLaren drivers: Lewis Hamilton, Jenson Button and Alain Prost with coloured chapter rings. Hamilton's Carrera (pictured above) gets a yellow ring, Prost's gets a red ring and Button's a blue ring.
I don't know if the picture is doing Hamilton's model a dis-service, but I would have thought a yellow ring would have been a bit more vibrant, perhaps a bit more like his crash helmet colour. The yellow as pictured looks rather dull and beige. I've actually seen another photo of this watch and it looks very similar, which is rather disappointing.
Interestingly the yellow on the advert looks okay, so is it just that I've seen a couple of bad photos?
Sadly these three watches were (like so many other TAG Heuer limited editions) only available in Japan, so the chances of finding them on the second hand market are perhaps even more limited than usual.
