TAG Heuer Formula 1 Chronograph Ref. 551.200C | Swiss Made | Vintage 1980s 🇨🇭
This TAG Heuer Formula 1 Chronograph Ref. 551.200C is part of the earliest Formula 1 series produced in the late 1980s — the generation that redefined TAG Heuer’s sport watch identity.
Unlike the later fiberglass-cased models, this is the full stainless-steel version, featuring a 37.5 mm case, black composite bezel, and original Heuer-signed bracelet. Inside beats the Heuer Calibre 3.90 (ETA 251.262), a 23-jewel quartz chronograph movement offering precision timing and reliability.
