Formula 1 Grande Date 44mm Quartz, Ref # WAH1010.BA0854.
Single owner, purchased new in Halifax in 2010. Asking $550.00 (+ shipping, if applicable). No trade offers please.
I purchased this watch prior to my second deployment to Afghanistan. I wanted a tough waterproof and dustproof analog watch that was legible in all conditions. This indeed a tough watch, and the titanium nitride bezel (the same hard alloy used to make reloading dies) looks great. The grande date (“big date”) at 12 o’clock is also very legible.
Do not let the 44mm diameter size deter you. I have a 7” wrist, and this watch wears substantially smaller than most 44mm watches due to the integral bracelet with a lug-to-lug measurement of 47mm. In my opinion, this watch wears like most 40-42mm watches.
In good condition, the watch has been worn as a daily wear for a couple of years, so there are the expected scratches and marks, especially on the bracelet. Of note, there is a ding on the side of the case at between the 8 and 9 o’clock, when I banged the watch exiting a LAV III armoured vehicle. I’ve tried to show this mark in the photographs, but, it is not particularly noticeable when wearing the watch. Sapphire crystal is flawless.
I added custom Omega sword hands to increase legibility in the dark. This service was performed by local jeweller in 2013 (service documentation available). The original TAG Heuer skeleton hands are included, should the purchaser wish to return this watch to its original configuration.
Includes original box and papers, all extra links, and the original handset.

Arabic numerals mark the 3, 9 and 12 o'clock positions. Minute markers around the outer rim. Luminescent hands and dial markers. Seconds sub-dial at the 6 o'clock position. Quartz movement. Scratch resistant sapphire crystal. Screw down crown. Stainless steel case back. Case diameter: 44 mm. Case thickness: 12 mm. Double safety clasp. Water resistant at 200 meters (660 feet).
