Just as on the original, it notably lacks a running seconds function, prioritizing two totalizers and leaving dial real estate for sponsors and partnerships.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Team Ikuzawa\u2019s logo fittingly occupies that reserved space just above 6:00. Like the Carrera logo below 12:00, it is printed in red on a flat rectangle, raised above the Clous de Paris-textured dial, which reminds me of certain 1980s Seiko 5 Sports references.<\/p>\n<p><img data-dominant-color=\"c7c0c0\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #c7c0c0;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1676\" height=\"1342\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/tag-heuer-chronograph-team-ikuzawa-back-gear-patrol.webp\" alt=\"Back of a TAG Heuer Carrera watch with visible mechanical movement and red \" team=\"\" ikuzawa=\"\" text=\"\" on=\"\" the=\"\" glass.=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1018529 not-transparent\"  \/>The Carrera Chronograph Team Ikuzawa runs on a TAG Heuer Caliber TH20-10.
