The Tag Heuer Formula 1 in Black & Yellow is often referred to by Collectors as the 'Launch Edition'. This model was part of the big push after Tag acquired Heuer. The stunning PVD coated stainless steel case really pops next to the yellow bezel while the functional dial offers beautifully patinaed radioactive Tritium Lume.
This particular example has been well preserved and shows very few signs of its age. Powered by an ETA derived 956.114 Quartz movement with quickset date function it is a great all rounder.
CONDITION:
Case: Overall the 28mm coated stainless steel case is in excellent condition, it shows no real signs of wear. The watch also features a Heuer signed crown.
Crystal: The sapphire crystal is in great condition with no scratches.
Movement: The ETA Derived 956.114 appears to be the original movement which has just benefited from a service & is keeping perfect time.
Dial: The Beautiful black dial is in Great condition and benefits from the stunning Tritium Lume. Unfortunately in the 30 years since this watch was produced the Tritium Lume has mostly expired.
Strap: The Tag Heuer rubber strap is the original and amazingly has had none of the excess cut off. There is a small split in the end of the strap at the buckle but it tightens up fine and remains secure.
Box & Papers: No box or papers with this one but will be shipped in one of our own boxes.
Waterproof: With this being a vintage watch we do not guarantee it's waterproof or water resistance status. All case gaskets are replaced as part of our standard preparation.
