This striking TAG Heuer Formula 1 embodies the spirit of motorsport precision with its bold black dial and distinctive two-tone stainless steel construction. The 41mm round case pairs brushed steel with warm yellow gold PVD-coated centre links, creating a commanding wrist presence that transitions effortlessly from boardroom to weekend. The black dial features luminous hour markers and hands in gold tone, complemented by a unidirectional rotating bezel with contrasting numerals at 12, 3, 6, and 9 o'clock positions—a design cue lifted directly from the racing circuit.
Powered by a reliable Swiss quartz movement, this timepiece delivers accuracy without the maintenance demands of mechanical calibres, making it an excellent choice for those who value precision and convenience. The date window at 3 o'clock provides everyday functionality, while the sapphire crystal guards against scratches and the 200-metre water resistance rating ensures durability whether you're at the pool or caught in a downpour.

FAQ
Q: Is this a genuine TAG Heuer watch?
A: Yes, this is an authentic TAG Heuer Formula 1 timepiece. Every pre-owned watch at Cassims & Co. undergoes rigorous authentication and inspection by our experienced team to guarantee its provenance and condition before it reaches our showroom floor.
Q: What is the difference between quartz and automatic movements?
A: Quartz movements are battery-powered and offer superior accuracy with minimal maintenance, typically requiring only a battery replacement every 2-3 years. Automatic movements are mechanical and powered by the motion of your wrist, requiring no battery but needing periodic servicing. This Formula 1 features a Swiss quartz movement for reliable daily precision.
Q: Can I wear this watch while swimming or diving?
A: With a water resistance rating of 200 metres, this TAG Heuer is suitable for recreational swimming, snorkelling, and water sports. However, we recommend avoiding operating the crown or pushers while the watch is submerged, and having the seals checked periodically to maintain water resistance integrity.
Q: How do I adjust the bracelet to fit my wrist?
A: The integrated bracelet can be sized by removing or adding links. We offer complimentary bracelet sizing when you purchase the watch in-store at our Mall of the South boutique. If you've purchased online and require adjustment, visit our boutique or contact our team for assistance with sizing and link removal.
Q: What is the function of the rotating bezel?
A: The unidirectional rotating bezel is a timing tool commonly used in diving watches. You align the zero marker with the minute hand at the start of an activity, then read elapsed time as the minute hand travels around the dial. The unidirectional design prevents accidental over-estimation of remaining air supply in diving scenarios.
Q: Does the watch come with original box and papers?
A: Box and papers availability varies by pre-owned piece. Please contact our team directly or visit our Mall of the South boutique to confirm what accompanies this specific watch. All pre-owned timepieces are sold with Cassims & Co.'s own dealer warranty regardless of original packaging.
Q: How often does the battery need replacing?
A: Swiss quartz movements typically require battery replacement every 2-3 years depending on usage. Our watch servicing team can replace the battery for you and perform a water resistance test at the same time to ensure your Formula 1 remains protected against moisture ingress.
Warranty
- This pre-owned TAG Heuer Formula 1 is covered by Cassims & Co.'s 6-month dealer warranty from the date of purchase.
- This is a dealer warranty provided by Cassims & Co., not a manufacturer warranty from TAG Heuer.
- The warranty covers the watch's mechanical and quartz movement functionality only.
- The warranty does not cover cosmetic wear, scratches, battery replacement, strap or bracelet wear, water damage, or damage resulting from misuse, accident, or unauthorised repairs.
- Any servicing or repairs must be carried out by Cassims & Co. or an authorised service centre to maintain warranty validity.
- Where applicable and transferable, any remaining original manufacturer warranty may apply in addition to this dealer warranty coverage, though most pre-owned timepieces have exhausted their original manufacturer warranty period.
- Proof of purchase from Cassims & Co. is required for all warranty claims.
Care Guide
- Rinse the watch and bracelet with fresh water after exposure to salt water, chlorine, or sweat to prevent corrosion and maintain the finish of the two-tone coating.
- Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperature fluctuations, strong magnetic fields, or harsh chemicals which may affect timekeeping accuracy or damage seals.
- Clean the case and bracelet periodically with a soft cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a soft brush with mild soapy water, ensuring the crown is fully screwed down before contact with water.
- Store the watch in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight when not in use. A watch box or pouch will protect against scratches and dust accumulation.
- Have the water resistance seals inspected every 2-3 years, particularly if you regularly expose the watch to water. Seals degrade over time and require replacement to maintain the 200m rating.
- Avoid operating the crown or bezel while the watch is wet or submerged, as this can compromise water resistance and allow moisture to enter the case.
- If condensation appears under the crystal, have the watch serviced immediately to prevent internal damage to the movement and dial.
- When the watch stops due to battery depletion, replace the battery promptly. Leaving a depleted battery inside the movement can cause leakage and corrosion.
