TAG Heuer Men’s Formula 1 Stainless Steel Watch WAZ1110.FT8023
If there were one word to describe this watch, it would be “bold.” Much like an F1 car’s colors, which directly inspired this exceptional watch, this three-hand watch is deceptively simple and unmistakably bold.
This watch features a fine-brushed steel case of exceptional quality and modern style and a rubber band with buckle closure. The steel case contrasts beautifully with the timepiece’s turning bezel, which has been coated with high-quality titanium carbide, the same titanium carbide that coats the crown of the watch. The dial, available in either white or a jet-black color, comes complete with markers applied by hand with immense precision and care. Finally, the dial is adorned with the unmistakably classic TAG Heuer logo in a vivid red. The initially subdued appearance that this timepiece provides at first glance only further complements the boldness created by its striking contrasts and beautiful craftsmanship.

TAG Heuer Formula 1 Men´s Watch WAZ1010.BA0842
This luxurious and durable watch sports a beautiful brushed stainless steel case and wristband. The bezel is made from stainless steel as well, although it features an elegantly crafted blue aluminum top ring. It boasts a sophisticated blue dial with precise orange accents and luminescent hands in an elegant silver tone. The six 6 and 12 o’clock positions on the face are marked with large numerals, and minute marks line the rim, with numerals at five-minute intervals.
This three-hand watch comes standard with a simple and elegant date display inset at the 3 o’clock mark. The crystal is made from a brilliant sapphire with scratch resistance. The dial is complete with the iconic TAG Heuer logo in red and green. Moreover, this classy timepiece comes complete with a fold over clasp, screw down crown, and a solid, durable case back.
Overall, this sophisticated timepiece projects a confident air and provides the wearer with grace and elegance almost unheard of these days.
TAG Heuer Men’s Formula 1 Stainless Steel Watch WAZ1112.BA0875
This watch is another impressive addition to the Formula 1 series. With an exceptionally well-crafted stainless steel case, bezel and armband, and a beautiful black dial, this watch exudes an air of sophistication and elegance that many have come to expect from TAG Heuer. This watch boasts index markers of incredible quality and precision, with numerals at the 6 and 12 o’clock positions, and minute marks lining the outer rim of the analog dial.
One interesting feature of this watch is the luminescent hands and markers, which radiate a luminous glow in dark conditions. A feature quite unique among professional watches, it provides the wearer to easily read their watch, even at night. This watch also includes an inlaid date display placed at the 3 o’clock position, and a deployment clasp. This model is water resistant at more than 600 feet, making it perfect for swimmers or watersport enthusiasts, but not for scuba diving. Finally, the timepiece includes the TAG Heuer logo emblazoned on its face in their signature red and green.
Overall, this entry in the Formula 1 series is a fantastic watch for those looking for something that’s both sophisticated as well as durable and doesn’t rely on flashy colors or major contrasts. It’s simple but luxurious design makes this a must-have for those who don’t need to be flashy, and just want an exceptional watch that’s still stylish upon closer examination.
TAG Heuer Men’s Formula 1 Stainless Steel Watch WAZ111A.BA0875
For those who are looking for a little more than just a watch, but want the simple and sophisticated style of the three-hand watch, then this chronograph might be exactly what they need. It features the beautiful brushed and polished stainless steel of the WAZ1112. The hands and markers are luminescent as well, mirroring the three-hand variant. It has the same water resistance and the same safety-equipped deployment clasp on the wristband.
However, the face is where this beautiful watch diverges entirely. This watch forgoes the second-hand present on the three-hand model, choosing instead to feature a sub-dial at the 3 o’clock mark for seconds, and an alarm sub-dial at the 9 o’clock mark. Additionally, this watch has a double date window embedded at the 6 o’clock position.
Overall, this chronograph offers the perfect experience for those looking for something that isn’t overly flashy but still offers a quiet confidence and an unmistakable style.
TAG Heuer Men’s Silver-Tone Stainless Steel Watch WAZ1111.BA0875
This watch simply drips with class and elegance. It thrives on a simple, yet bold design, with a heavy contrast between the black rotating bezel and the silver-white sheen of the brushed steel case and armband. This elegant contrast is further compounded by the striking white dial and black crown. The markers within the dial hold a dark sheen, along with the hands. They’re also luminescent, adding to the utility of the watch.
The dial is inlaid with a date window at 3 o’clock, and the face adorned with a beautifully clear scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. Its armband boasts a deployment buckle and the screw down case back is beautifully engraved. Finally, there’s TAG Heuer’s signature logo, placed proudly on the watch face.
Overall, this is a watch meant for those looking for class and elegance over intricacy and features. It has a simple design, clear contrast, and a bold presence that isn’t incessantly demanding of attention.
TAG Heuer Formula 1 Chronograph Men´s CAZ1014.BA0842
For those after something with a bit more color, there’s this beautifully crafted chronograph. Sporting an audacious blue aluminum tachymeter ring, and a blue face, this chronograph is one to watch out for. The dial showcases silver-toned hour and minute hands with luminous strips, as well as the second hand in a striking orange color. Minute markers line the outer rim of the dial, and a large-type numeral appears in the chronograph’s 12 o’clock position.
This chronograph boasts three sub-dials, the 3 o’clock dial displays 60 seconds, the dial opposite displays 30 minutes, and the 6 o’clock dial displays 1/10th of a second. Additionally, there is a date window displayed at the 4 o’clock position. The crown is screw down, and the armband’s deployment clasp boasts a push-button release. As with all of the Formula 1 series chronographs and watches, the green and red TAG Heuer logo is emblazoned on the watch face.
Overall, this watch is for those who are looking for more classical elegance, but who also dare to be bold and stand out with vivid color. Durable and beautiful, this watch is a striking addition to any collection, as well as a fantastic introductory piece.
TAG Heuer Formula 1 Blue Chronograph Men´s Watch CAZ1014.FC8196
This watch is for those who like to hit the fast lane in style. The elegance and grace of a steel armband is entirely forgone for a strikingly colorful NATO strap in a deep blue that sports vivid white and orange racing stripes, and a tang clasp. With a stainless steel case and bezel, and a strikingly beautiful blue aluminum bezel ring, it’s easy to miss the more subtle details of this watch. The silvery minute and hour hands are luminous, glowing in dark conditions, as are the markers. The vivid orange second hand provides a clear contrast to the deep blue of the watch face, which is itself adorned with TAG Heuer’s logo in a daring red.
This chronograph features three sub-dials. One of these is placed at the 3 o’clock position, and displays 60 seconds. Another, at the 6 o’clock position displays 1/10th of a second, and the last, at the 9 o’clock position, displays 30 minutes. There is also a date window at the 4 o’clock position.
