 The most captivating feature of the TAG Heuer Carrera Astronomer is undoubtedly the seven "spheres" at the center of the dial and the "arrow hand" below them. The seven "spheres" represent the seven phases of the moon. The "arrow hand" indicates which moon is currently in the sky, and that's how the moon phase indicator appears. The moon phase indicator advances one position each night around 1 AM.

This "pointer-style moon phase" design, as seen in TAG Heuer watches, has been a long-standing feature in the world of luxury watches. For example, Piaget's recently released Polo Tourbillon also includes a point-style moon phase. However, it is extremely rare to find a watch like the TAG Heuer Carrera "Astronomer" with such a large and prominent point-style moon phase.

It not only features a moon phase display on the dial, but also has an engraving on the watch case back. Looking at the case back, there's a pattern depicting the moon as observed by an observatory. Although the pattern is laser-engraved, the TAG Heuer "Astronomer" engraving is quite beautiful.
