The story behind this TAG Heuer Formula 1
The Formula 1 collection has its roots in the close ties between the manufacturer and motor racing. Designed to offer optimal readability and withstand the rigours of the racetrack, it is aimed at enthusiasts of precision engineering. This special edition pays tribute to Ayrton Senna, the brand’s long-standing ambassador. The design incorporates elements associated with the driver, notably the S-shaped link bracelet he was so fond of. The bezel, engraved with his name, features a tachymeter scale extending up to 400 kilometres per hour. The reference CAZ101AF.BA0637 exemplifies the Swiss maison’s motoring heritage.
Case, movement and bracelet of this Senna Edition
The 44 mm tonneau-shaped case is crafted from stainless steel and features a combination of brushed surfaces and polished chamfers. It frames an anthracite dial with a sunray finish. The display is organised around three black, blued sub-dials and a date window positioned at 4 o’clock. The rhodium-plated hour markers and hands are coated with white luminescent material. Touches of yellow accentuate the central hand and the sub-dials. The watch is powered by a Swiss quartz movement accurate to 1/10th of a second. The screw-down crown ensures water resistance to 200 metres. The stainless steel bracelet features the Link design with its ergonomic double links and fastens with a folding clasp.
Why this TAG Heuer watch
This pre-owned timepiece stands out for its aesthetic balance and historical significance. The contrast between anthracite grey, black and yellow accents creates a distinctive visual identity without being ostentatious. The quartz movement ensures it is ready to wear straight away and offers great durability, making it a chronograph well-suited to everyday wear. The combination of the Formula 1 design and the S-shaped bracelet is a configuration highly sought after by motor racing enthusiasts from the 1990s.
