The ultimate prestige sport watch, the Formula One CAC111D.BA0850 from TAG Heuer is designed to work as hard as you play. The rugged 41mm case is crafted from high-performance brushed steel and framed with black protective bumpers. It presents on a handsome brushed steel link bracelet that closes with a double locking foldover clasp. The round black dial offers both analog and digital display, with luminous hands, small Arabic numerals, and a bold digital display of hours, minutes, and seconds along the lower curve of the dial. A unidirectional rotating titanium-carbide coated bezel, with engraved dive time markers and easy-to-grip oversized flutes, allows safe timing of dives and other limited events. Other notable features of this watch include precise Swiss quartz movement and a highly scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. This watch is rated water resistant to 200 meters and is suitable for diving. 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.
