Heritage Narrative

Introduced in 1986, TAG Heuer’s Formula 1 line captured the high-energy spirit of motor racing with bold styling, durable materials, and ultra-reliable Swiss quartz movements. This reference CAC111D.BT0705—produced in the mid-2000s—follows that tradition with a brushed stainless-steel case, black composite crown guards, and a unidirectional timing bezel bearing oversized Arabic numerals for instant legibility. Its matte-black dial, accented by luminous hands and markers, underscores the model’s focus on practical, high-contrast readability. Water-resistant to 200 meters and fitted to TAG Heuer’s signature sculpted black rubber strap, the watch blends everyday versatility with the rugged DNA that made the original Formula 1 a modern icon.
