Ayrton Senna special edition Tag Heuer Formula 1 Chronograph 44mm CAZ201B. $3,500.00 CAD. 520-00185

Ayrton Senna was a legendary Brazilian race car driver who won 41 Formula 1 races over 11 years. He died in a racing accident while leading the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix in Italy. He is regarded as a national hero in his home country; known for philanthropy and his no holding back driving style. Ayrton won more than half of the Formula 1 races he entered that were in wet condition; this statistic is far better than any other driver. He was a great ambassador for Tag Heuer and to this day they occasionally produce special edition watches honoring the the Formula 1 icon. This Senna Edition F1 chronograph is our latest estate watch and one of the last to pay homage to the Link series of Tag Heuer watches. Aryton wore many  Tag Heuer watches and more often than not they were one of various S/el (Sports Elegance) models (later renamed “Link”). This rare Senna Edition CAZ201B is seldom seen with yellow highlights on the dial, bezel, crown, start/stop button, and strap stitching. In keeping with the unique bracelet pattern of the original S/el and Link models, this watch features the same pattern embossed on to the black leather strap. I think Mr. Senna would approve of this subtle tribute to one of Tag Heuer’s most defining designs. The large watch measures 44mm diameter and features a ceramic tachymeter bezel scale, self-winding automatic movement with 12-hour chronograph with date display. The back of the case is embossed with an image of Ayrton in his helmet. This watch is in light new original condition. It has hardly been worn and never been polished or refinished. It comes complete with special box, certificate, instructions, and unendorsed warranty card. Even though this is a racing inspired chronograph watch, it’s still a Tag Heuer with the features normally associate with a professional diver model. The hardened lab-grown sapphire crystal, threaded crown, and threaded case back give this watch a water resistant rating of 200 meters. Luminous pigment in the hands and hour markers allow good visibility in low light situations. Its tough leather strap is infinitely adjustable in length by a cleverly engineered locking deployment buckle with slide lock. The watch is working great and keeping excellent time with all functions operating as designed. We are including a 1-year warranty for the next owner of the rare Tag Heuer Formula 1. Estate priced at $3,500.00 CAD. Stock #520-00185.
