Review TAG Heuer Formula 1 No.33 Max Verstappen 2017

TAG Heuer Formula 1 No.33 Max Verstappen 2017 Special Edition (the TAG Heuer rep indeed admitted that this was probably the longest name ever for one of their watches) carries Verstappen’s no.33. Max Verstappen. More TAG Heuer Formula 1 replica watches.

TAG Heuer Formula 1 No.33 Max Verstappen 2017 Special Edition is a 43mm stainless steel (quartz) chronograph. The blue opaline dial has a white and red flange with 60 second / minute scale. The green and white TAG Heuer logo is printed at 12 o’clock. Around the hour counter at 6 o’clock, it reads TAG Heuer Formula 1. The hour and minute hand are filled with red lume, as well as the hour markers. The chronograph seconds hand is also in red. The watch comes on a red rubber strap with pin buckle. The minute track (flange) is red till the 33rd minute, Max Verstappen’s number.

This watch is available with a quartz movement, but let’s not forget about all those Max Verstappen fans that are probably not all watch enthusiasts like ourselves. It would also give the price of the TAG Heuer Formula 1 No.33 Max Verstappen 2017 Special Edition quite a mark-up if it would come with an automatic chronograph movement. The use of a quartz movement make it possible to keep the price tag friendly and relatively accessible for a large (young) audience.

Best cheap watches online, discover our affordable replica Omega watches collection. Wide range of luxury watches brands.

Omega CK2129 was designed for ease of use and legibility. It had a cream dial, blue hands, large Arabic hour markers, a large rotating bezel, and two oversized crowns. The two large crowns made it easy for pilots to handle and wind the watch when wearing gloves. In addition, the second crown at 4 o’clock was used to lock the rotating bezel so that timings couldn’t be misread by accidental knocks inside the tight confines of the plane’s cockpit.

The Omega CK2129 was powered by the Omega Calibre 23.4 SC, a manually wound movement that was used in many other Omega models during that time. It was notable for its central seconds hand, which was useful for timing short events of under a minute. It beats at 2.5Hz and has a power reserve of around 40 hours.
