Tag Heuer has been cranking out innovative watches of the utmost quality for a very long time, never wavering in their dedication to making great timepieces available to everyone. Every series that is released from Tag Heuer is unique in its own way and created with a specific type of wearer in mind. This is very evident when we come to their fantastic line of Formula 1 watches. Tag Heuer came out with their Formula 1 replica watch line in 1985 and much of the inspiration behind this series was inspired by high performance F1 automotive technology. This series is perfect for auto enthusiasts that are looking for a sporty and rugged watch for everyday wear. They are perfect timepieces for an auto enthusiast and the date marker is even reminiscent of an old car odometer.
Tag Heuer Formula 1 Replica Review
Pros
Each replica Tag Heuer Formula 1 watch is friction, shock, vibration, traction-resistant. They are also resistant to external environmental elements and extreme temperature. Each watch goes through rigorous manufacturing standards and strict testing to ensure that they are going to withstand a good amount of wear and tear from daily use.
This watch line is comprised of handsomely rugged pieces for everyday wear especially since they are beautifully understated and not flashy at all. You can easily wear one of these watches for casual and formal events. They are the perfect weight and size. You know you are wearing it, but you don’t feel like you have to get a work out just to lift your arm.
You can’t go wrong with any of these masculine looking timepieces in the Tag Heuer Formula 1 series. Each replica watch is very good quality watch with exception materials. Not a single detail is spared during production and this is so evident when you get a close look at them. The pricing is amazing considering that these watches will last a very long time if cared for correctly.
Cons
The luminosity of these fake watches could definitely be brighter. It is pretty dim and at times seems like there isn’t much illumination at all. Now we know this isn’t a dive watch, but the luminosity could use a boost just for regular usage.
We really wish that more of the Tag Heuer Formula 1 watches were automatic movement. As of now only the Automatic Chronograph model is run on a caliber 16 engine and all other models are run on Japanese quartz movement. We like the thought of never having to replace a battery and having super accurate time. Hopefully future models in this series will migrate towards the automatic movement.
Each model available in this series is really fantastic in its own way. They are all rugged and functional with great features for every type of wearer. Now let’s take a quick look at our favorite replica watches in the Tag Heuer Formula 1 series!
We love the Tag Heuer Formula 1 replica series and here are our favorites!
Automatic Chronograph
Each Automatic Chronograph is run off of automatic movement with a Calibre 16 replica Swiss made an automatic engine. This watch keeps impeccable time and has 42 hours of reserve power due to its automatic engine. If you need to get a little wet, that’s ok because the Automatic Chronograph is water resistant up to 200 meters.
This model of the Tag Heuer Formula 1 replica series has a unidirectional bezel on a tachymeter scale. Within the watch’s dial, there are 3 chronographic sub dial counters and an angled date window at the 3 o’clock position. The dial is protected by a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal that is held in place by a minuterie on the flange.
To round out this amazing watch, it is made of the best quality materials. The case is made of fine brushed steel. The bezel is made of polished steel and brushed black ceramic and the bracelet made of steel and brushed black ceramic. It is a really rugged, handsome watch.
Grande Date
The Grande Date is another of our favorites from the Formula 1 series. This watch is run off of Japanese quartz movement with pretty great precision. The battery in this fake watch should last for about two years before needing to be replaced. It is safe to get this watch wet as well since it is water resistant up to 500 meters.
The Grande date also has a unidirectional bezel with a tachymeter scale. The handsome dial has an angled date window at the 6 o’clock position and luminescent markers at 12 numeral markers and watches hands. A scratch-resistant sapphire crystal for excellent durability with a minute on the flange protects the dial.
This watch is constructed from some really fine materials that enhance the entire look of the piece. The bezel is steel coated with black titanium carbide set atop a case is made of fine brushed steel. The bracelet is made of black rubber or fine brushed steel.
Indy 500 Chronograph
The Indy 500 Chronograph is another fantastic model in the replica Tag Heuer Formula 1 series. There is also a tachymeter scale on the bezel for average speed measurement. You can also take a dip in the water with this watch since it is water resistant up to 200 meters.
The dial contains 3 sub chronographs as well as an angled date window at the 4 o’clock position. There are curved and polished hands with luminescent markers inlaid in the dial as well. All of the pretty and functional features are safely stored behind a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal face.
The case of the Indy 500 is made of fine brushed steel with a bezel made of fine brushed and polished stainless steel set on top of it. To complete the striking look of this watch is the watch bracelet that is made of fine brushed steel, leather, alligator or python.
