A classic from TAG Heuer’s first-generation Formula 1 collection, the WA1218 embodies the bold 1990s motorsport design that made this series an icon. Powered by the reliable ETA 955.412 quartz movement, this 35 mm model delivers excellent accuracy, true dive-watch functionality, and the unmistakable racing aesthetic that defined TAG Heuer’s revival era.
This example is offered in very good condition, with all parts 100% original. The black bezel remains clean and sharp, the white dial is beautifully preserved, and the hands are in excellent condition — with the lume still glowing, a rarity for watches from the mid-1990s. The watch has been fully checked by our certified watchmaker, fitted with a new battery, and is functioning flawlessly.
Fitted with its original TAG Heuer bracelet, suitable for an 18.5 cm wrist (up to 21 cm using the diver’s extension), it retains the authentic look and feel of the period.
A well-preserved, fully original 1996 Formula 1 — perfect for collectors seeking a clean, reliable, and increasingly collectible piece of TAG Heuer’s early quartz heritage.
Founded in 1860 by Edouard Heuer in Saint-Imier, Switzerland, TAG Heuer has always been driven by innovation, speed, and avant-garde design. From the racetrack to the wrist, TAG Heuer stands as a symbol of endurance, precision, and the spirit of competition. Today, headquartered in La Chaux-de-Fonds, the brand continues to push boundaries, blending Swiss craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology and a daring sense of style.
TAG Heuer’s revolutionary breakthroughs forever changed the world of watchmaking — beginning with the oscillating pinion, patented in 1887, a mechanism still used in chronographs today. In 1969, TAG Heuer introduced the Monaco, the world’s first automatic chronograph with a square waterproof case, immortalized on the wrist of Steve McQueen in the film Le Mans. The Carrera, launched in 1963, remains a legend among racing chronographs — a pure, functional design inspired by the dangerous Carrera Panamericana road race. The Autavia, originally created in 1933 for aviation and automobiles, evolved into a professional chronograph adored by adventurers and collectors alike.
Every TAG Heuer watch is built for those who live life in the fast lane — who value precision, innovation, and bold design. To own a TAG Heuer is to embrace a legacy of performance and passion; it’s a statement of confidence, energy, and timeless Swiss excellence that beats with the heart of motorsport.
