Looking for an unconventional chronograph? Look no further!
In the mid 1980s, Techniques d'Avant Garde acquired Heuer and released the Formula 1 line of watches as their first watch under the new brand, TAG Heuer. The Formula 1 line was made to serve as a robust, dependable, and affordable tool watch and featured a wide variety of colors, material usage, and eventually complications and features.
This particular Formula 1 takes the form of a funky orange chronograph, though given its subtly integrated pushers, unconventional color scheme, and blocky case, you’d be forgiven for thinking it’s something else entirely.
The Reference CAH1113 is housed in a 42mm stainless steel case with a sapphire crystal, a signed crown, a black unidirectional timing bezel, and a luminous orange dial with applied indices and a matching handset, a triple-register chronograph layout with silver sub registers an oversized running seconds counter, and a date window at 3:30. Powered by a Japanese quartz movement, it comes paired to a stainless steel multi-link bracelet with a signed fliplock clasp.
Eye-catching and in good condition, it’s ready for daily adventures. Plus, as a bonus, it should be pretty tough to misplace!
