TAG Heuer Carrera Heuer 02T CAR5A98 FC6471 OEM Hybrid Rubber-Alligator Watch Strap
Overview
This is an authentic TAG Heuer OEM hybrid watch strap, reference FC6471, designed for the Carrera Heuer 02T collection. The Heuer 02T series, introduced in 2016, was TAG Heuer’s first Swiss-made tourbillon chronograph, featuring an in-house movement with a titanium and carbon composite case. This strap is crafted for the CAR5A98 reference case, combining blue alligator leather with a rubber base and titanium inserts for a sport-luxury aesthetic. The strap is sold without a buckle, including only the two strap pieces as shown.
The alligator leather is sourced from Mississippiensis alligator, a species known for its durability and fine grain, while the rubber base provides flexibility and water resistance. Titanium inserts reinforce the strap’s structure at the lug attachment points, ensuring a secure fit to the case. The strap is graded Excellent in our Condition Grading Scale below, indicating minimal to no signs of wear.
TAG Heuer’s hybrid straps are engineered for compatibility with the brand’s deployant clasps, though this listing does not include a clasp or buckle. The design balances the Carrera 02T’s motorsport heritage with the refined finish expected in a tourbillon timepiece.
Specifications
The strap measures 22 mm at the lug width and 22 mm at the buckle end width, with a short piece length of approximately 80 mm and a long piece length of approximately 100 mm. The hybrid design layers blue alligator leather over a black rubber base, with brushed titanium inserts at the lug interface. The leather exhibits a matte finish, while the titanium inserts feature a satin-brushed surface.
Markings on the underside of the strap include the following engravings: TAG Heuer FC6471 The rubber base is textured for grip, and the leather is stitched with matching blue thread along the edges.
Compatibility
This strap is designed exclusively for TAG Heuer Carrera Heuer 02T watches with a 22 mm lug width, including the CAR5A98 reference case. It may also fit other Carrera models with identical lug dimensions, though the hybrid design is optimized for the 02T’s case profile. The strap’s titanium inserts align with the case’s lug geometry, ensuring a flush fit.
