The TAG Heuer Formula 1 Quartz WAZ1110.FT8023 model in a 41mm stainless steel case and a sleek black PVD coated unidirectional rotating bezel displays the time through a bold and highly-legible three-handed dial display in black.

The luminous coated baton indexes and hands are a pleasant match for a practical date aperture located at 3 o’clock. Equipped with a Swiss-made quartz movement at its center, the 200-meter water-resistant case of this value-for-money watch will enable you to snorkel, take a shower or enjoy a spot of swimming with its supple black rubber strap secured firmly to the wrist.

Subtle yet sporty injections of red color are cast across the surface of the dial. They can be seen at the tip of the second’s hand and in the iconic “Formula 1” lettering itself. TAG Heuer certainly built this impeccable timekeeping tool for those wanting a wristwatch that could straddle that gap between luxury and accessibility comfortably – and the TAG Heuer Formula 1 Quartz watch does it so well.

Aside from its ability to pair well with pretty much every outfit in your wardrobe, TAG’s ingenious approach to material research and development ensures this watch is going to withstand knocks, bumps, and scratches to the tenth degree. A sapphire crystal glass front further supports this gent’s TAG Heuer Formula 1 watch based on durability, since the lens is fortified with scratch-resistant technology.
