TAG Heuer Men's WAH1011.BA0854 Formula 1 Grande Date White Dial Stainless Steel Watch

If you’re looking for a sharp and sporty watch from a luxury watch brand, check out the TAG Heuer Formula 1 Grand Date. Shown above in white with a stainless steel band, TAG Heuer also offers sporty rubber bands which are great for summer and when you’re increasingly active. The unidirectional titanium carbide-coated bezel functions as a tachymeter to measure average speed and the precise Swiss quartz movement is both shock and magnetic resistant. Sapphire crystal protects the dial, luminescent markers, running second counter, and date display that make up this handsome watch. Another great feature is that the battery has an “end-of-life” indicator, which makes the second hand skip in 4-second increments to notify you that the batter is on its last legs (while still keeping the correct time).
