This pre-owned TAG Heuer Formula 1 Alarm combines robust sports watch engineering with practical everyday functionality. The round 41mm stainless steel case houses a striking black dial equipped with dual sub-dials — one tracking 60 seconds, the other a 12-hour alarm display — alongside a prominent big date window at 6 o'clock. The red-tipped alarm hand adds a distinctive visual accent against the matte black dial face, while luminous hour markers and hands ensure readability in any lighting condition.
Powered by TAG Heuer's reliable quartz movement, this Formula 1 variant delivers precision timekeeping with full alarm functionality, protected by a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. The unidirectional rotating bezel features bold white numerals on a black background, maintaining the watch's sporty character while offering practical timing capabilities. Water-resistant to 200 metres, this timepiece transitions seamlessly from boardroom to weekend adventures, secured by a solid stainless steel bracelet with polished centre links and brushed outer sections.

FAQ
Q: What is the alarm function used for on this watch?
A: The alarm complication allows you to set a daily reminder or wake-up alert. The 12-hour sub-dial tracks your alarm setting, while the red-tipped alarm hand indicates the set time. It's a practical feature for travellers, professionals managing meetings, or anyone who values a mechanical backup to digital alerts.
Q: Is this watch suitable for swimming and water sports?
A: Yes, with 200 metres of water resistance, this TAG Heuer Formula 1 is suitable for swimming, snorkelling, and recreational diving. The screw-down crown and sealed case back ensure reliable water protection during aquatic activities.
Q: How often does a quartz watch need battery replacement?
A: Quartz movements typically require a battery change every 2-3 years, depending on usage and complications. Our servicing team can replace the battery and perform a pressure test to maintain water resistance integrity.
Q: Can the bracelet be adjusted to fit my wrist?
A: Absolutely. The stainless steel bracelet can be professionally sized by our team to ensure a comfortable and secure fit. We recommend visiting our boutique for precise adjustment, though nationwide clients can receive detailed sizing instructions with their order.
Q: What does pre-owned certification mean for this watch?
A: Every pre-owned timepiece at Cassims & Co. undergoes rigorous inspection by our experienced watchmakers. We verify mechanical function, test water resistance where applicable, assess cosmetic condition, and certify authenticity before offering the watch for sale.
Q: Is the unidirectional bezel functional or decorative?
A: The bezel is fully functional and rotates in one direction only — a safety feature borrowed from dive watch design. You can use it to track elapsed time for any activity, from timing a meeting to monitoring cooking intervals.
Q: Does this watch come with original box and papers?
A: Pre-owned watches may or may not include original packaging and documentation, as this varies by individual piece. Please contact our team to confirm what accessories accompany this specific watch.

Care Guide
- Rinse the watch with fresh water after exposure to chlorinated or salt water to prevent residue buildup on the case and bracelet.
- Clean the stainless steel case and bracelet regularly using a soft cloth and mild soapy water, then dry thoroughly to maintain the polished and brushed finishes.
- Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures, strong magnetic fields, or harsh chemicals, which can affect timekeeping accuracy and case finish.
- Have the battery replaced by a professional watchmaker to ensure proper sealing and water resistance maintenance — never attempt to open the case yourself.
- Do not operate the crown or pushers while the watch is underwater, as this can compromise water resistance seals.
- Store the watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use, preferably in a watch box or pouch to prevent scratches.
- We recommend a professional service every 3-5 years to check seals, lubricate the movement, and verify water resistance integrity.
- Avoid impact or dropping the watch, as shock can damage the quartz movement or crystal despite the robust construction.
