The second model is a TAG Heuer Formula 1
chronograph inspired by Aston Martin Racing. The TAG
Heuer Formula 1 is TAG Heuer's ultimate motor racing
model, synonymous with performance and speed.
Entirely in steel and measuring 43 mm in diameter, this
quartz chronograph features a notched steel bezel and
an aluminium ring with a tachymeter scale. The indexes,
seconds hand and Aston Martin's famous winged logo
all don Aston Martin Racing's specific shade of lime
essence and stand out against the watch's black dial to
beautiful effect. The movement is accurate to a tenth of
a second – an indispensable feature in a motor racing
watch – and is displayed on the small counter at 6
o'clock, with the minute counter at 9 o'clock and the
current seconds counter at 3 o'clock. The model comes
with a magnificent black leather strap. Once again this
is exclusively for Aston Martin as this is the first time TAG
Heuer uses a leather strap in the TAG Heuer Formula
1 collection. With lime essence topstitching, it adds
character and sporty style to the watch.
