The TAG Heuer Formula 1 Grande Date watch is an appealing new addition to a collection of uncompromising sports timepieces.  Inspired by the 1960's-era Monte Carlo dash-mounted chronograph manufactured by Heuer, this efficient and stylish timekeeping instrument will accompany F1 superstar and TAG Heuer ambassador Lewis Hamilton as he challenges the field in the 2009 season.

The 44mm case of the Formula 1 Grande Date watch is manufactured from brushed stainless steel; it features a screw-locked back and a protected screw-down winding crown.  Apart from the 200 meter water resistance, suitability as a diving instrument is assured by a unidirectional rotating bezel coated with titanium carbide for optimal scratch resistance; the bold numbers gracing the bezel are well matched to black or white superluminova dials.  Within the small seconds subdial at 6 o'clock is a dual window display showcasing the appealing large date function.  Legibility of is outstanding from any angle, thanks to an anti-glare treated crystal in synthetic sapphire.

Animating the TAG Heuer Formula 1 Grande Date timepiece is a highly precise quartz movement controlled by a battery.  The timepiece can be obtained on a matching stainless steel bracelet with an diving extension and a double safety clasp, or a textured rubber strap bearing the TAG Heuer signature.
