TAG Heuer's Latest Timepieces

It’s coming up to the annual Basel Watch and Jewelry Fair in Switzerland, where some of the world’s most desirable gizmos will be shown for the first time, and luxury watch manufacturer TAG Heuer has announced its sporty line of spring 2007 timepieces in advance of the event today. The collection includes a redesigned TAG Heuer Formula 1 line, 2007 Monaco Vintage Limited Edition, the latest SLR for Mercedes-Benz, the Aquaracer Automatic Chronograph Day-Date line and Aquaracer Calibre S models.

TAG Heuer Formula 1

Reinterpreted with a hot new look and dynamic range of colors TAG Heuer's line of Formula 1 timepieces continues to evoke the "need for speed." The collection retains its desirable six-sport watch features which include a screw-in crown, titanium carbide coated unidirectional turning bezel with raised fine-brushed steel numbers, water resistance to 200 meters, luminescent hands and markers, sapphire crystal and double safety clasp with extension system.

The watch is offered with a black, red or white dial and the chronograph with an orange, red, silver or black dial. Both the watches and chronographs are available on a stainless steel bracelet or rubber strap.

Monaco Vintage Limited Edition

The latest iteration of the iconic square dial originally made famous by Steve McQueen, pays tribute to the Porsche-Gulf 917K racecar featured in the legendary cult film "Le Mans." Beyond cool, this 2007 limited edition piece has a black dial with orange and blue stripes, vintage "GULF" logo at 6 o'clock and matching black alligator strap with orange stitching.

TAG Heuer SLR for Mercedes-Benz

Demonstrating the strong alliance among TAG Heuer, Mercedes-Benz and McLaren, the 2007 TAG Heuer SLR for Mercedes-Benz evokes some of the distinctive design elements in the latest version of the Mercedes-Benz SLR 722.

The titanium-carbide black tachymeter bezel was inspired by the painted black carbon front spoiler and palladium-grey wheel rims while red painted hands reflect the red-painted brake calipers. Like the SLR 722, the timepiece represents power, precision and streamlined elegance.
