Introducing the New TAG Heuer Formula 1 Chronograph
TAG Heuer invites us to relive the 1980s with the launch of three chronographs as part of its Formula 1 collection, reminiscent of the vibrantly coloured quartz chronographs of that era.
It is in the new chronographs’ green, red and yellow tones that we find an extensive legacy linked to motorsport, representing nations, flags, lights, circuit markings, team decorations and much more.
On the outside, the latest TAG Heuer Formula 1 comes in a 43mm stainless steel case with a brushed finish, black PVD coated crown, pushers and bezel, the latter fixed with an embossed tachymeter scale. In addition, front sapphire crystal, screw-down case back with the checkered flag engraved and an appreciable 200 meters of water resistance.
The colour dials feature a sunray effect and come with three black “azurage” registers – a running seconds at 3 o’clock, 1/10th-of-second at 6 and a 30-minute counter at 9. A black minute scale inner ring, a date window at 4 o’clock, applied hour markers and numerals and three central hands all filled with a white Super-LumiNova.
However, each of the three new chronographs has different details, the green variant features black PVD coated hour markers and hands, red outer rings on the totalizers, and the central second’s hand and minute markers in white, the same details feature the red variant with the exception of the tone of the outer rings of the totalizers that are presented in white, finally, the yellow variant that presents rhodium-plated hour markers and hands, a red central seconds hand and yellow minute markers.
Each of the chronographs comes with a textured rubber strap in the colour of the dial.
The watches can be purchased from today in the brand’s official boutiques and authorized retailers for a price of €1,750.
