Review The TAG Heuer Formula 1 Special Edition 43MM Watch Replica

The roll-out of TAG Heuer’s Gulf-branded watches continues, inspired by the blue and orange colours of the Gulf motor racing team, this TAG Heuer Formula 1 special edition 43mm sports watch replica is perfect, bold and contemporary. It features a stainless steel 43mm case, a blue dial decorated with Gulf stripes, and powered by quartz movement. The blue leather strap with contrasting orange stitching completes this striking timepiece. Let’s have a look at TAG Heuer Formula 1 43mm stainless steel watch replica (ref. CAZ101N).

The Dial

The TAG Heuer Formula 1 edition watch replica apart from other models is the dial, which starts with a dark blue base before adding the two Gulf stripes- light blue and orange. The off-centre stripes are the same design as McQueen’s racing suit in Le Mans. The same orange is used for the central chronograph hand, as well as the tips on the three lacquered sub-dial hands. The three sub-dials each have an azurage, or circular pattern. These registers have a slight beige or ivory tint to them rather than being a pure, bight white.

The other key details on the dial are the minuterie flange, with 5 minute increments, and the standard rectangular hour indices, which have white SuperLuminova, as does the over-size “12” at the top of the dial.

The Case

The 2018 TAG Heuer Gulf F1 replica uses a 43mm stainless steel case, the standard case offered across the Formula 1 Chronograph range. The case has a notched steel bezel with a lovely blue aluminium insert and a titanium-carbide coated crown and chronograph pushers. Despite the large case size, the use of quartz movements keeps the case relatively slim and giving the watch a nice feel on the wrist. The case offers a polished steel finish, which has become standard issue for today’s TAG Heuer’s, including most Carrera and Autavia models. 

The Strap

TAG Heuer Formula 1 stainless steel men’s watch replica has a fantastic new strap. The strap is made from calfskin and has an unusual “asphalt” texture effect. On the inside of the strap is an orange rubber lining, with matching orange stitching. 

While there is no bracelet officially offered, there is no reason why the standard Formula 1 steel bracelet won’t fit the Gulf F1…but keeping the watch on the bright blue leather strap feels like the right choice.
