TAG Heuer's Formula 1 Fangio

Post by AtomicTom » Tue Jan 09, 2018 9:23 am

This is one for both race, and watch fans guys. ..It is TAG Heuer's Formula 1
Fangio. A watch that celebrates the 60th Anniversary of Juan Manuel Fangio's
5th Formula 1 World Championship on the Nurburgring track in Germany back
on August 4 1957.

Looks like a few of the specifications include a 43mm polished stainless steel
case, 200m WR, matte black dials with faceted rhodium hour markers, and hands
with Super-LumiNova, tricompax positioned sub-dials, and sporty racing stripes in
the colors of Argentina. On top of that there is a Swiss quartz movement, special
case-back, and a cool strap, and bracelet.

Some pictures everybody...

Not really feeling the racing element to this one, but the overall design looks nice.

not sure TH's target market either knows or cares about Senor Fangio, let alone have his name on their bezel :doh:

I was just thinking the same. This watch is probably aimed at the youth market, so they will know sweet FA about Fangio. In fact, most old duffers don't either.

It's real, but it's not a seal. It's a retarded ghost emerging from a lake of shit.

Someone on here disagreed once when I mentioned how horrible that engraving was. They should step forward and admit it.
