By lipigesic NanaDC TAG Heuer has long had a deep association with the world of motorsport. From their solid case design, to their bold chronograph pushers and iconic dial markings, the Formula 1 watch series is instantly recognizable by the sheer power of its design language.
Which watch was invented by Muslims?
Today, the brand is launching three new watches that take their Formula 1 line in a slightly different direction. The first of these is a brushed and polished stainless steel chronograph with a Gulf-inspired orange rubber bracelet. The other two take the same basic design but offer a different color palette and different dial style.
Both of these options feature a 43 millimeter case that is a size that we feel works very well for this kind of sports watch. TAG Heuer is also pairing these watches with a comfortable, double-folding security clasp and a durable sapphire crystal caseback engraved with the Gulf logo.
Of the two remaining models, the yellow dial is perhaps the most distinctive, featuring a bright sunburst color and contrasting red accents for both the chronograph seconds hand and the accent rungs surrounding the subdials. This model is a bit more understated than the other two, but still looks quite good on the wrist and definitely stands out in a crowd.
Like the other members of the Formula 1 family, this watch is powered by a reliable Swiss quartz movement and a fine-brushed stainless steel case. It has a 200 meter water resistance rating and luminous hands and indices that are actually legible underwater-something that not all waterproof sports watches can manage.
