2022 Tag Heuer Formula 1 Red Bull Edition CAZ101AL $1,900.0 CAD. 520-00141

Tag Heuer Formula 1 watches have come a long way since their colourful introduction of inexpensive sports watches in 1986. The debut came toward the end of the quartz crisis that eliminated many Swiss watch manufacturers. In fact, Formula 1 was the first watch series released after Techniques d’Avant Garde (TAG) acquired the Heuer watch company. Heuer had become financially stressed as their traditional mechanically based product line had trouble competing with much lower priced Japanese imports like Seiko. It’s fair to say the original, brightly coloured, composite cased original Formula 1 watches helped save the company from insolvency. They were basically a much higher quality Swatch watch. It’s not unusual for us to see an original Formula 1 come in for a fresh battery. We usually have a 1st generation for sale in our estate collection. Our latest formula 1 dates more than 3 decades after the originals hit jewellers showcases in 1986.  It benefits from over 30 years of improvements. Screw down threaded crown, super hard synthetic sapphire crystal, advanced luminova glowing pigments and full 316l stainless steel construction are features the originals never had. I love the navy blue, red, and yellow highlights of this special edition Red Bull racing chronograph. Our latest F1 estate offering is in like new condition. The polished/brushed finish is completely original and has not been polished or refinished in any way. Model CAZ101AL comes complete with everything from the original purchase in the summer of 2022. It was ordered directly from Tag-Heuer online. When bought directly through Tag-Heuer the purchaser gets a giant box with extra documents, a bright red folder, and a high quality travel pouch. I guess when Tag-Heuer (Corporate) don’t need to share any of the profit with an authorized agent, they can afford to splurge a little on an elaborate presentation. The efficient and ultra precise quartz movement should run trouble free for many years to come. We would expect to see an accuracy rate of plus or minus a few seconds a month. The movement features a handy calendar and a lap time function in addition to the regular start/stop/reset chronograph. This watch is a current offering form Tag Heuer and can be seen on their website where it carries a retail price of $3,000.00 CAD. Including a complimentary 1 year Bill Le Boeuf Jewellers warranty this excellent condition Tag Heuer Formula 1 is estate priced at $1,900.00 CAD. Stock 520-00141.
