TAG Heuer CAH1012.BT0717 is a large size. Crafted with care in Switzerland, this men’s luxury watch is presented in a sturdy Black PVD-coated stainless steel case with scratch resistant titanium carbide coated unidirectional rotating bezel, on an extra durable Black rubber bracelet that conveniently fasten with a stainless steel tang buckle clasp. The round case has 44 mm diameter and approximately 12.5 mm thick, while its proportional tapered bracelet is around 16 - 21.5 mm wide, which despite of made of rubber, it is sturdy enough to support the watch’s overall weight to let it remains soundly on the wrist.
Just like the other TAG’s Formula 1 series, the watch has a solid case back that is decorated with a checkboard racing pattern. Furthermore, the bold Black dial that is decently protected by a world class sapphire glass is fashioned with a look of racing car panel to brighten up its sportive side.
Backing up its look with quality, this battery powered watch is fitted with some of the most reliable and accurate Swiss quartz movement; TAG’s personalized version of Ronda startech caliber 5040B that offers date at twelve, small seconds at three and chronograph functions with center stop second, twin hands semi-circular chronograph minutes counter at nine, 1/10 second counter at six (work as a hour counter after 30 minutes). It is compatible with 364 Renata battery, and provides up to 54 month of battery life for each replacement. All the setting and adjustment can be easily done via the easy grip screw down crown and two pushers at the right hand side.
Being dominant in Black, this TAG Heuer CAH1012.BT0717 is easy to be paired with a range of attires. The dial’s silver tone hands and hour markers feature SuperLuminova coating so that they can be easily seen regardless the light conditions. Its sapphire is glare-proofed to improve its clarity. And for practical sake, the timepiece itself boasts a capacity of 200 m water resistance so that it is not only immune to rain and splashes of water, but also suitable for swimming and skin diving as well. Best of all, this Swiss luxury watch is reasonably priced with a suggested retail price of $1,800.00.
