The dial of the watch is ludicrously clear and easy to read. Ive always been quite fond of this style bracelet. The watch comes with a rubber or metal bracelet. On the side of the watch there is a cool looking “Tag Heuer” label. The case is about 11mm thick and water resistant to 200 meters. Size is up to 44mm wide, there is no plastic on the case anymore (the bezel is new metal in black), and it just feels better in your hands. Everything about the new Tag Heuer Formula 1 watches has been upgraded from the previous models. One of the cooler things that you can do with a Swiss quartz movement that would be impossible or impractical with a mechanical movement. I think the look of the movement layout has been well integrated into this watch. Once you are over with using the chronograph function, the watch reverts to “telling the time mode.” In time telling mode the chronograph retrograde dials are used to indicate the date (cool right?) This is probably the best way to have such a precise chronograph complication without getting a digital watch. The two retrograde dials are used to measure 1/10 and 1/100 of a second times for the ultra precise chronograph mechanism. Operating it has the watch hands alter position to be used for counting the chronograph hours, seconds and minute. The movement is a sophisticated quartz movement that transforms the watch dial totally into a chronograph. Instead of the previous Swiss quartz movement, Tag Heuer has given the new Formula 1 Chronograph watches is newer Calibre S movement. But it seems to have dispensed with the “big date” part. It wasn’t too tough to predict that a chronograph version was right around the corner, and here it is. In the not so distant past I praised the good looks of the new Tag Heuer Formula 1 Grande Date watch. I haven’t seen it anywhere else but at The Watch Gallery who always has the most recent Tag Heuer watches. Here is a really nifty new Tag Heuer model I just came by.
