Formula 1 - Quartz

The Formula 1’s sports-luxe aesthetic is iconic, whichever movement you opt for. In fact, the overall look of quartz and automatic watches in this collection is nearly identical. The aesthetic differences of the TAG Heuer Formula 1 Quartz are subtle. The quartz features a larger, more legible font for the date and it has more numerals on it than the bezel of the automatic. The inside is where the biggest disparities lie. The Formula 1 Quartz is powered by a battery and quartz crystal. A quartz calibre ensures accuracy, durability (due to its comparatively fewer parts) and less maintenance. The TAG Heuer F1 was the first watch to be released after the acquisition of Heuer by TAG Techniques d'Avant Garde (TAG), a company synonymous with supplying powerful turbocharged F1 engines during the 1980s. The F1 connection continues to this day through McLaren F1. The Formula 1 collection was duly designed for speed on & off the racetrack.
