Our Take
Formula 1 racing and Tag Heuer have always had close ties, so it was inevitable that they would come out with their own Formula one series watch and here it is! This particular model is a gent’s watch and is rather unique in yellow, it may work for a lady too that likes a larger watch. The timekeeping is perfect as you would expect from Tag Heuer, it’s powered by a quartz ETA movement. Encased in black resin plastic and enticing us with its rotating yellow plastic bezel, with the well known ‘Click’ as it turns. Case measures 34mm in diameter and 38mm from lug to lug. The dial is black/yellow and is clean, the logo in the centre, there are the usual luminous markers, quick set date at 3 o’ clock and Mercedes’ hands, all kept under the mineral crystal in excellent condition. The crown features the logo, stainless steel case back also has the logo and screws in. The model number on the back is 380.513/1. It features the original Tag Heuer rubber bracelet measuring approximately 7.85” or 20cm. These models are becoming increasingly less common, especially in this condition. The watch comes without the original box and booklets, but a gift box will be provided. It has not been pressure sealed, so please don’t use it near water.
