It would be wrong of us not to finish on something totally special about the TAG Heuer Formula 1 Aston Martin watch. The quartz oscillator within the movement allows the chronograph to be accurate to 1/10th of a second, and this can be found in the chronograph counter at 6 o’clock. The pushers at 2 and 4 o’clock on the bezel operate the 30 minute totalizer at 9 o’clock and seconds at 3 o’clock. It makes for a timepiece that can more than take care of itself when it needs to. Black gold polished central hands have been coated with Super-LumiNova treatment to light the dial up in dark conditions. Make no mistake that the dial of this TAG Heuer Formula 1 Aston Martin Special Edition watch, is dedicated to facilitating easy time reading for the gentleman. Just as the lime green essence highlights the lettering, the central chronograph hand, the sub dial hands and the minuterie on the flange – you’d have to agree it really does bring the watch to life. Although there’s nothing better than seeing references to TAG stamped onto the dials of their watches, the choice to add the “Aston Martin” lettering around one of the chronograph dials just feels so natural this time. It forms the perfect frame around a tricompax black dial, bearing TAG Heuer’s shield logo just below the 12 o’clock location. A matte black aluminium ring, etched with a tachymeter scale has been fitted to a notched steel bezel. The broad 43mm stainless steel case is in the style of the typical Formal 1 watch. Labelled as the “ultimate motor racing model”, the design of the watch is, without a shadow of a doubt, perfectly tailored to suit the needs of those gentlemen with a passion for luxury cars, as well as those with an appreciation for refinement, elegance and performance in a wristwatch. It’s not the first time that TAG Heuer have used Aston Martin cars as inspiration for their designs, but it’s the first TAG watch to be manufactured to signify this collaboration. Branded TAG Heuer cars also marked the occasion, finished in bright green accents to mirror the beauty of the TAG Heuer Formula 1 Aston Martin watch itself. It’s out with the old and in with the new when it comes to Aston Martin, since it has brought to an end their 12 year partnership with Jaeger-LeCoultre.

The recent Geneva International Motor Show which took place just three months ago, was the event in which TAG Heuer chose to announce their partnership with British Luxury carmaker, Aston Martin. The bezel comes in two colours to determine day from night: half in a deep midnight blue to match the dial and represent the night-time hours of 6 in the evening till 6 in the morning and half in brilliant white to represent the daytime hours of 6 in the morning till 6 in the evening.What if we were to tell you that the recently launched TAG Heuer Formula 1 Aston Martin Special edition watch brings a number of firsts to the wrist as well as a feature-packed spec that will send your pulse racing?
