On the flip side, there’s that quartz movement. The chronograph versions have got everything a one watch person would need: Swiss watchmaking heritage, hours/minutes/seconds hands, a date function, a chronograph along with a tachymetre scale, and a fixed bezel that’s now iconic of the architectural language of this range. This collection expands marked by bright colours and asphalt-effect dials. The new TAG Heuer Formula 1 follows suit, starting the 2021 F1 season in Bahrain with the welcome addition of 4 new colourways. Last year watch and sports enthusiasts saw TAG releasing two novelties under the Formula 1 banner: the value proposition Formula 1 Aston Martin Red Bull Racing Special Edition and the strikingly beautiful Formula 1 Indy 500 2020 Special Edition. Just like the cars are tested to wither any conditions, TAG Heuer’s Formula 1 range goes through over 60 quality control tests to produce watches that are highly shock-resistant and water-resistant to 200 meters. Over the years it has deepened its roots within the motorsports world and like the sport has evolved into a stylish collection featuring bold designs that demand attention and advanced technical features that are inspired by the extreme performance of the Formula 1 teams.

The TAG Heuer Formula 1 collection was first launched in 1986/87.

The movement is housed inside a 43mm diameter steel fine-brushed case that is on the large side but in turn, should aid legibility. Retailing for the price of 2’100 AUD (for time only model) and 2’750 AUD (for chronograph versions), these regular production releases feature a Swiss quartz movement that is made with a battery life of approximately 24 months and comprises of an EOL (battery End-Of-Life) indication, stop-second function & fast date correction setting. Watches & Wonders 2021 presents the new TAG Heuer Formula in 4 references featuring colourful dials and quartz movements.

With the new TAG Heuer Formula 1 watches, you get brand recognition, sturdy timepieces, and a casual sporty-chic vibe: if you are someone who doesn’t look down upon quartz movements, these are an excellent bang for your buck as well. Big, bold and beautiful, these are best suited for those racing and watch enthusiasts who may be on a budget but their love for the brand and motor-racing is not. Youthful asphalt-effect dials in tangerine orange and lime yellow reminiscent of the 1980s and 90s, colourful design, and the beater watch capability define the new TAG Heuer Formula 1 watches.
