The handsome dual tone watch blends high performance with optimal readability and sporty prestige styling. The 38.4 mm case is crafted from a solid block of stainless steel and showcases a silver dial with goldtone luminous hands and markers, a sweep seconds hand, and a date display at the three o'clock hour. Framing the dial is a unidirectional rotating bezel, in gold-plated steel, with oversized Arabic numerals and a luminescent marker at the 12 o'clock position. The handsome link bracelet, in brushed steel with polished gold-plated center links, fastens securely with a double safety clasp and features an extension system so that the watch can be worn over a diving suit. Other notable features of this watch include precise Swiss quartz movement, a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal and a screw-in crown and caseback for water resistance to 300 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.
