Latest Vintage Piece
Tag Heuer Formula 1 quartz WAZ1111 42mm. $1,300.00 CAD. 520-00147
The Tag Heuer Formula 1 line has come a long way since the first versions were introduced in the 1980s. I feel you can credit the F1s as the biggest reason Tag Heuer survived the quartz crisis that put many Swiss manufacturers out of business due to the onslaught of good quality, low-cost quartz watches from Japan. The original Formula 1 models only cost a few hundred dollars and were constructed mostly from composite materials aside from the screw on case-back. Today the Formula 1 is truly a watch worthy of consideration by any watch aficionado.
Our latest example is a personal favorite. Under the super tough and durable synthetic sapphire crystal is a beautiful matt finish white dial with applied markers that are super legible under any lighting conditions.
The Arabic 12 and 6 remind me of a Rolex Explorer and the classic green/red logo is something most modern Tag Heuers are lacking.
At 42mm it isn’t too big and cumbersome and the slightly thinner ratcheting bezel allows more room for a big dial and easy time interpretation making this one of the most purposeful watches around. A threaded crown and case back contribute to a water-resistant rating of 200 meters.
Solid construction stainless steel bracelet with diver’s extension and locking buckle allows use in any condition.
The watch is in excellent condition, it looks more “shop worn” the preowned. The case edges are sharp and crisp, no dings, dents, or scratches. Only the wide flat buckle displays some minor evidence of use.
Comes complete with the original packaging, instruction booklet, and warranty card. The watch is covered by our 1-year complimentary warranty for the next owner. This like-new watch is no longer available, but a similar version with a red minute track is shown on Tag Heuer’s website for $2,350.00 CAD. Our estate price for this like-new example is $1,300.00 CAD. Stock #520-00147.
