Latest Vintage Piece
Tag Heuer Formula 1 WAZ1110.BA0875 41MM $1,000.00 CAD. 520-00179
The Tag Heuer Formula 1 has come a long way since the first versions were introduced in the 1980s. I feel you can credit the Formula 1 as the biggest reason Tag Heuer survived the quartz crisis that put many Swiss manufacturers out of business due to the onslaught of good quality, low-cost quartz watches from Japan. The original Formula 1 models only cost a few hundred dollars and were constructed mostly from composite materials aside from the screw on case-back. Today the Formula 1 is truly a watch worthy of consideration by any watch aficionado.
Our latest example is a personal favorite for an almost indestructible tool watch that you don’t need to be careful with. Under the super tough and durable synthetic sapphire crystal is a beautiful matt finish black dial with applied markers that are super legible under any lighting conditions.
The Arabic 12 and 6 remind me of a Rolex Explorer and the classic green/red logo is something most modern Tag Heuer are lacking.
At 41mm it isn’t too big and cumbersome and the slightly thinner ratcheting bezel allows more room for a big dial for easy time interpretation, making this one of the most purposeful watches around. A threaded crown and case back contribute to a water-resistant rating of 200 meters.
Solid construction stainless steel bracelet with diver’s extension and locking buckle allows use in any circumtances.
The watch is in very good condition, showing scratches mostly on the buckle cover, the bracelet and case look excellent. The solid stainless bracelet shows little wear and sag, it contains 15 links adjustable to fit a wrist of up to 8 inches.
The watch is covered by our 1-year complementary warranty. Tag-Heuer still produce a quartz Formula 1 watch that looks pretty much the same as our estate model WAZ1110 but the black PVD bezel has been replaced with brushed stainless steel. The current version (ref:WAZ1112) can be seen online where is shows a retail price of $2,500.00. This very good condition Tag Heuer does not come with its original packaging or documents. Our price for this previously enjoyed Formula 1 is $1,000.00 CAD. Stock #520-00179.
