Before we can understand why Tag Heuer watches are some of the best watches around today we must first understand a little history about Tag Heuer.

Tag Heuer, or as some say just Tag, was created in 1860 in Switzerland by Edouard Heuer. Edouard Heuer’s ambition was to develop the measurement of time. Edouard Heuer has kept Tag Heuer at the forefront of new technology and has developed many new time-keeping  measurements since then. That said, Tag Heuer also has an identifiable style and one that boasts individuality and personality.

TAG Heuer traces its roots to the small Swiss village of St-Imier where, in 1860, a watchmaker named Edouard Heuer opened his first shop. His vision was to create remarkable timepieces that pushed the envelope of innovation and precision.

The company’s reputation grew, and Heuer’s first patent for a chronograph mechanism in 1882 was followed by a long list of achievements: the first stopwatch accurate to 1/100 of a second, the first dashboard stopwatch for race cars, the first miniature electronic timekeeping device accurate to 1/1000th of a second, and the first automatic movement with a micro rotor, to name just a few.

Over the years, Heuer’s reputation for gold-standard precision earned the company the privilege of providing official timing services for a number of world-class competitive sporting events, including the Olympic Games, the FIS Ski World Cup, and the FIA Formula 1 World Championships.

To this day, TAG Heuer maintains a close association with the world of competitive sports and enjoys a devoted following among sports celebrities and enthusiasts. In 1985, Heuer joined the TAG (Techniques D’Avant-Garde) group, and the TAG Heuer name and logo were created. Now one of the most recognized and sought-after watch brands in the world, TAG Heuer continues its reputation of innovative design and technological excellence, creating prestigious timepieces that are always at the cutting edge of precision, reliability and style.

Ideal for casual attire, this TAG Heuer Formula 1 timepiece is a great choice for athletes thanks to the sporty titanium unidirectional bezel printed with large, silver-tone Arabic numerals in increments of five. Its impressive scratch-resistant sapphire-coated dial window reveals a black dial with silver-tone hour indicators, small minute indexes, and luminescent silver-tone hands.

This watch also offers a triple-link stainless steel bracelet, date window at 3 o’clock, precise Swiss quartz movement, and water resistance to 200 meters (660 feet)–which will stand up to the rigors of recreational scuba diving.
