Since 2004, TAG has been the official timekeeper of the Indy Racing League and the Indy 500 Race having mastered the challenge of measuring 1/10,000th of a second. With such accomplishments it is no wonder that TAG has produced such excellent watches with superb racing functionality as the TAG Heuer Indy 500 collection. From the time that Edouard Heuer started the company over 150 years ago, their desire has been to make watches that combine fine craftsmanship with advanced technology and the finest tried and true materials. After years of close association with racing sports, they have surpassed other brands in their quest for excellence in racing watches.
The CAH101A.BA0854 model in the Indy 500 collection is a beautiful example of this. The striking grey dial with circular guilloche pattern features silver tone minute and hour hands as well as hour markers that are luminescent. Add a red central sweep hand to measure chrono seconds and 3 sub dials (3, 6, and 9 o’clock) along with a large date display at 12 o’clock and you have a stunning face. The Tag Heuer and Indy 500 logos are prominently displayed. The dial is protected by a anti-reflective sapphire crystal which is also scratch-resistant. Functionality includes a chronograph with 1/10 resolution up to 30 minutes, and an etched tachymeter scale on the stationary bezel.
This Indy 500 model features a stainless steel bracelet to go with the finely brushed and polished stainless steel case. It has a hidden fold-over push-button deployment clasp to keep it safely attached to your wrist. Since it is also submersible to 200 meters, you might want to take it diving and there is a dive extension included for your convenience. Whether you take it to the races, diving, or any other place, you will be pleased with the overall performance of this elegant sport chrono.
