Latest Vintage Piece
2024 Tag Heuer Formula 1 quartz chronograph 43mm “Green Panda” CAZ101AP $2,000.00 CAD. 520-00180
When the Formula 1 debuted in 1986 they were the extrovert model from the newly formed merger between the Heuer Watch Company and Luxembourg business group Techniques d’Avant-Garde (TAG).
To say the creation of these bright and colourful watches saved the then 125 year old Swiss brand from bankruptcy isn’t a stretch. They were widely popular, inexpensive and captured the feel of the 80s like nothing else other than maybe a disposable Swatch Watch.
Fast forward to 2025 and Tag Heuer have re-launched the Formula 1 in a style almost exactly the same as the first generation. I remember selling the originals for $295.00 with the composite case with a rubber strap.
The modern versions are of superior construction with far more capability and priced accordingly. The latest green/black Formula 1 SolarGraph with stainless steel bracelet retails at $3,000.00 CAD. Our latest Formula 1 is stainless steel on rubber strap with chronograph feature. The vivid green strap with green on black “panda” dial make for a watch that’s hard to miss. In addition to regular time keeping, this watch offers a 30 minute chronograph with 1/10th second display and lap time feature, a useful calendar at 4:00 o’clock, and bright luminous hands/hour markers.
Instead of a rotating timer bezel (redundant on any chronograph equipped watch), this bezel showcases an oversized easy to read Tachymetre scale. This handy device allows the rapid calculation of any repeating event in units per hour within a range 240-60. It sounds complicated but is quite easy in practise after you’ve been shown how to use it. This watch is in perfect condition showing no signs of use.
It was purchased directly from TagHeuer.com in June 2024 and comes complete with the huge box and travel pouch that are only available if ordered directly from the manufacturer.
It also comes with the instruction booklet, digital warranty card (not shown), certificate and folder . This bright green strap version is no longer shown online, but the same model in blue can be seen on the Tag-Heuer website for $2,750.00 CAD. Including our 1-year warranty, the watch is estate priced at $2,000.00 CAD. Stock #520-00180.
