You might think so to judge from many other watches, but these second gen Carreras have two different Tachy scales and neither has the word Tachy at 12 o'clock!
The 200 to 50 tachy scale as on this watch should have "Tachy" at 3 o'clock, so this one is indeed correct. The 500 to 60 version has "Tachy" between 12 and 1, with the Y just falling short of being at 1 o'clock. In both versions, the '60' numeral is actually what falls at 12 o'clock precisely.
We've seen quite a few over the years where the scale has been rotated so that "Tachy" is at 12 and it immediately looks odd.
