--- Introduction --- Introduced in the late 1980s, the TAG Heuer Formula 1 brought the brand's motorsport spirit to an accessible, robust sports watch and quickly became one of the most recognisable designs of its era. This reference 371.513 presents the classic first-generation look: a sculpted stainless steel case, a black unidirectional diver's bezel with red-accented first quarter, and a dial framed by a vivid red minute track. Over the years the dial has mellowed to a warm cream tone, giving the watch an attractive vintage character that collectors of 1990s TAG Heuer particularly appreciate. Powered by a reliable Swiss quartz movement and rated to 200 metres, it remains an easy-to-wear everyday companion with genuine heritage. --- Specifications --- Brand: TAG Heuer Series: Formula 1 (first generation) Reference: 371.513 Movement: Quartz Case Material: Stainless steel case with black composite rotating bezel Crystal: Mineral glass (estimated) Dial: Cream (aged patina) with black dot indices, red minute track and date window at 3 o'clock Case Back: Stainless steel, screw-down, engraved TAG Heuer shield, "Water Resistant 200 Meters" Bracelet: Stainless steel link bracelet with folding clasp Period: 1990s Country of Origin: Switzerland --- Condition Report --- Overall: Good pre-owned condition with visible signs of use consistent with age, presenting as a charming vintage Formula 1.
