Our Take
The range of 1500 Series has always been iconic and came in many different designs over the years but this is definitely one of the more desirable ones as many may know, Obama wore this model regularly. It’s sturdy and reliable, the timekeeping is perfect as you would expect from Tag Heuer, powered a quartz ETA movement. Encased in thick stainless steel and enticing us with its rotating bezel and the well known ‘Click’! The case measures 36mm in diameter and 44mm from lug to lug, so a good size for today’s man. The dial is sandy beige with the logo in the centre, there are the usual luminous markers, quick set date at 3 o’clock, and Mercedes’ hands, all under a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. The gold crown can screw in/lock and features the logo, the case back also has the logo and screws in. The model/serial numbers are WD1221-K-20 #VO8848. It features the original strap in steel and gold plating with double lock clasp, s/n 611/410 and measures approximately 7.3” or 18cm. The watch comes without the original box or papers but will be accompanied by a gift box. It has not been pressure sealed, so water resistance is not guaranteed.
