This sport chronograph, from TAG Heuer's Kirium series, represents an effortless blend of high performance and sleek good looks. A beautifully contoured steel link bracelet, with brushed and polished pieces, leads to the perfectly round blue dial, which features luminous silver tone hands and dot markers. Three tonal subdials display 1/10 second, minutes, and 12 hour registers, and a small window at the 4 o'clock position reveals the automatic date calendar. The dial is set in a 39 mm solid steel case and framed by a unidirectional rotating bezel with engraved hour markers. A highly scratch-resistant domed sapphire crystal protects the dial, and a double locking clasp on the bracelet provides added security as well as a seamless look. This Kirium watch offers precise Swiss quartz movement and is water resistant to 200 meters. TAG Heuer traces its roots to the Swiss village of St-Imier where, in 1860, watchmaker Edouard Heuer opened his first shop. His vision was to create remarkable timepieces that pushed the envelope of innovation and precision. The company's reputation grew and Heuer's first patent for a chronograph mechanism in 1882 was followed by a long list of achievements: the first stopwatch accurate to 1/100 of a second, the first dashboard stopwatch for race cars, the first miniature electronic timekeeping device accurate to 1/1000th of a second, and the first automatic movement with a microrotor, to name just a few. Heuer's reputation for gold-standard precision earned the company the privilege of providing official timing services for a number of world-class competitive sporting events, including the Olympic Games, the FIS Ski World Cup, and the FIA Formula 1 World Championships. To this day, TAG Heuer maintains a close association with the world of competitive sports and enjoys a devoted following among sports celebrities and enthusiasts. In 1985, Heuer joined the TAG (Techniques D'Avant-Garde) group, and the TAG Heuer name and logo were created. Now one of the most recognized and sought-after watch brands in the world, TAG Heuer continues its reputation of innovative design and technological excellence.
