1970's and early 1980's were for sure the golden era for Tag Heuer with the great Motorsport inspired names: Monaco, Carrera, Autavia Jarama, Montreal, Silverstone.

This is a Tag Heuer Formula 1 wristwatch, reference CAU1110. “Inspired by motor-racing, this robust model is built for speed, endurance and audacity.” High-precision quartz racing chronograph watch with an all-black dial and sub-dials, luminous hour marks and luminous matching hands. 42mm brushed stainless steel case, flat (virtually scratch-proof) sapphire crystal. Screw-down crown, 200-meter water resistant.

It is coming with an original high-tech rubber Tag Heuer strap, brushed and engraved steel pin buckle. The three chronograph counters track permanent seconds, hours, minutes and 1/10ths of a second. The precision tachymeter scale on the bezel measures distance and speed.

This watch is a very functional piece with a touch of elegance and sporting allure throughout every moment of the day. It is in very good condition, keeps good time and runs very well!

Vintage watches are traditionally smaller than today's watches. Men's watches typically measure between 29-36mm (some larger, some smaller) wide excluding the crown. In the listing details we typically try to do our best to list all pertinent dimensions of a watch. If you don't see it, or we failed to do so, please reach out to us. Women's watches from the 1900s-1970s were also somewhat smaller than today’s offerings in many cases. Please also feel free to ask any questions you have pertaining to size.

We prefer to shoot photographs outside when weather is permitting. However, when we shoot indoors, please be aware that we shoot our photographs inside of lightboxes that are lit with 360 LED bulbs. This indeed magnifies any flaws. Usually, they are much less obvious to the naked eye. Having said that, we never photoshop any of our photography, remove blemishes, etc. We adjust light, when necessary, but what you see is what you are getting, and we take pride in that.

The condition is pre-owned.
The item may have some signs of cosmetic wear, but is fully operational and functions as intended.
See all the photos, feel free to ask questions if you have any.

It will be carefully packed.
