You don’t have to be a Formula 1 driver to wear the Tag Heuer Men’s Formula 1 Calibre S 1/100th Sec Electro-Mechanical Chronograph 44 MM watch CAH7010.BT0717 —but you’ll definitely feel like you’re living in the fast lane when you show off this classic yet sporty watch. This watch is ideal for those who want an elegant timepiece that has an edgier twist.

The Tag Heuer Formula 1 Calibre watch bears the prestigious Tag Heuer name, and is perfect for someone who wants more performance out of their watch than just timekeeping. Features include:

The Tag Heuer Formula 1 line is inspired by the McLaren racing team and endorsed by world champion Englishman Lewis Hamilton

• Oversized black dial with luminous hour, minute, and second hand
• Scratch-resistant, anti-reflective sapphire crystal watch face
• Durable black rubber band with Tag Heuer logo and Tang clasp
• TAG Heuer Calibre S Electro-Mechanical Chronograph combined with Swiss quartz movement for ultimate precision
• Two subdials designed to look like dials on a racecar dashboard that offer chronographic functionality (1/100^th of a second and 1/10^th of a second)
• Serrated-edge design uni-rotating black bezel with second indexes; scratch-resistant Titanium-carbide coated
• Perpetual retrograde calendar
• Stainless steel case and fine-brushed back with checkered pattern
• Screw-down crown for greater water resistance
• Waterproof up to 100 meters (330 feet) for swimming and water sports
• Swiss-made

This watch is a terrific option for a man who would like durability and chronograph functionality for sports or other leisure activities. On the other hand, it might not be suited for a businessman who wants a professional watch with more form than function (stainless steel band, less obtrusive rotating bezel, etc.). For another option, try the Tag Heuer Formula 1 Calibre model CAH7010.BA0854, which offers the same features but with a stainless steel band. In both cases, the Tag Heuer Formula 1 line has all of the extra features one could possibly want in a watch, packaged in a modern and bold design.

The Tag Heuer Formula 1 Calibre watch comes from an impressive pedigree; its technology is inspired by the McLaren Formula 1 team, which includes world champion Lewis Hamilton, while the Tag Heuer brand is also endorsed by celebrities like Leonardo DiCaprio and Maria Sharapova. Be sure to look at the other pieces in the Formula 1 collection, or other Tag Heuer collections such as Grand Carrera or Aquaracer; these all contain watches that combine precise Swiss timekeeping with sports functions and elegant designs.

All in all, the Tag Heuer Formula 1 Calibre S 1/100th Sec Electro-Mechanical Chronograph 44 MM watch (model CAH7010.BT0717) is a solid choice for anyone who goes from the office into the outdoors—or anyone who likes a sportier watch that still looks sleek and modern.
