The TAG Heuer Carrera NISMO Calibre 16 is a 2015 partnership watch tied to Nissan’s return to Le Mans. Its exact reference is CV2A82.FC6237. TAG Heuer Japan called it the Carrera Calibre 16 Chronograph Day-Date Nissan NISMO Edition; contemporary English-language coverage also called it the Carrera NISMO Calibre 16 Day-Date Chronograph Special Edition. It was inspired by the Nissan GT-R LM NISMO, but the available launch coverage does not identify it as an official race timekeeper.
What the Carrera NISMO edition is
TAG Heuer Japan announced the watch on June 16, 2015, identifying the model as the Carrera Calibre 16 Chronograph Day-Date Nissan NISMO Edition and giving the reference as CV2A82.FC6237. The announcement says the design was inspired by the Nissan GT-R LM NISMO. SJX connected the release with Nissan’s return to Le Mans in 2015 after a 16-year absence. The sources establish a commemorative partnership connection, not a race-timing role. TAG Heuer Japan’s release and SJX’s launch report document that context.
Design and specifications
The official Japanese announcement describes a black dial, case and strap with red NISMO-inspired details. It also says NISMO logos appear on the bezel and caseback. TAG Heuer identifies the movement as an automatic mechanical Calibre 16 chronograph.
SJX and Monochrome add specifications beyond the official release. Both report a 43 mm black-coated titanium case; SJX specifies black titanium-carbide coating and a scratch-resistant black ceramic bezel. SJX also reports a sapphire caseback bearing the Team Nissan NISMO logo and identifies the movement supplier as Sellita, with the SW500 calibre. The movement-supplier detail is SJX’s reporting; TAG Heuer Japan’s release names Calibre 16 without naming the supplier. Monochrome’s contemporary report also describes the black-coated titanium case and red accents.

Original launch prices and production status
These are release-era prices, not current resale estimates. The Japanese announcement listed ¥599,400 including tax. SJX reported original prices of US$5,300 and S$7,250 and said the watch was available only in 2015. Monochrome reported €4,750. These figures reflect the prices reported for their respective markets at launch and should not be compared as if they were current or interchangeable quotations.
Production status is not consistently described. TAG Heuer Japan called the model limited production, while SJX said it was available only in 2015; Monochrome described it as apparently non-limited. The contemporary reports do not establish a worldwide production count, so no exact number can be stated.
