The reaction to our story back in June on the new Calibre 16 Formula 1 was very strong, with the article being the most popular read on Calibre 11 for the last couple of months.
The new chronograph is the first men’s Formula 1 in 27 years not to be powered by a quartz movement, and represents a change in the positioning of the Formula 1 series: where the F1 used to be the entry-level TAG Heuer, the new Calibre 16 models are perhaps a sign that the Formula 1 range going forward will sit alongside the other models, rather than below them.
So here for the first time are the three mechanical chronographs that make up the range- two stainless steel & ceramic models (above) and the bright Orange model that features a titanium carbide coating on a stainless steel case. Entry-level no more?
Design
The Calibre 16 F1 retains the same case shape and design as the original watch from 1986, but in a 44mm stainless steel case- a far cry from the 34mm Fibreglass case of the original. The increase in case size is sure to please those who find the current men’s range too small at 42mm.
In addition to the larger diameter, the depth of the case also increases to accommodate the thicker mechanical movement- from 11.9mm on the quartz models to 15.2mm. To put that in perspective, the Calibre 16 Aquaracer is 16.1mm thick.
One of the design flourishes used is the coloured highlights on the two chronograph pushers and crown- Orange on CAU2012…
…and Red on CAU2011. The third model- CAU2010- sticks with Black highlights in keeping with its monochrome feel.
The model name and TAG Heuer logo are printed on the dial itself, rather than applied as is the case with many Carrera, Link and Aquaracer models.
The dials have a nice, clean finish- no vertical/ horizontal streaks or metal chronograph sub-dial rings. The stainless steel pair each have a “starburst” Anthracite dial, while the steel titanium carbide model’s dial is solid Black.
Overall the design feels very cohesive, extending to the neat integration of the crown guard and the chronograph pushers and the TAG Heuer logo on the bottom of the central chronograph hand.
The caseback design shares the same look as that used on the quartz models, meaning there is no sapphire caseback, consistent with TAG Heuer’s recent strategy of using steel case backs for Calibre 16 watches (Link, Carrera and Aquaracer).
Formula 1 Steel & Ceramic- CAU2011
The CAU2011 is my favourite of the new trio and features Red highlights- not only on the crown and pushers (as noted above), but also the “Tachymetre” script on the bezel, a Red-tipped central chronograph hand and Red sub-dial hands at 12 and 6 o’clock.
This model is only available with the steel & ceramic bracelet that features ceramic brick inserts, bordered by polished steel borders that contrast with the brushed steel outer-links.
It’s an attractive colour combination- the watch still looks like a Formula 1, but a more up-scale, mature version of the F1 that everyone knows.
Formula 1 Steel & Ceramic- CAU2010
The second model is CAU2010 is the same as the watch above, but without the Red- stainless steel hands, Black highlights on the crown and pushers and “Tachymetre” in white letters, matching the tachy scale on the bezel.
Speaking of the bezel, each of the three watches feature a fixed bezel- this one doesn’t rotate, despite looking like it might.

Tag Heuer Calibre 16 Movement
The final model in the range is the most overtly sporty model- Black dial, case, bezel and rubber strap with contrasting Orange details. It’s refreshing to see TAG Heuer open up the colour palette for the F1, which after all was originally offered in every colour of the rainbow.
The Black and Orange chronograph is the closest to the spirit of the original Formula 1, and quite different to any other watch in the TAG Heuer range. It’s not hard to imagine that other colours will follow if the watch proves a sales success.
On the Wrist
The Formula 1 Calibre 16 is a comfortable wear and doesn’t feel as large or heavy as other 44mm TAG Heuer models on the wrist.
Importantly, the watch feels every bit as solid as other Calibre 16 models- there is no sense of lesser grade materials on the watch case itself, although the rubber strap doesn’t feel as well-finished as that used on other models- a point we’ll come to shortly.
The CAU 2010 model also looks very good on the wrist- again, more up-scale than you might expect.
Strap & Bracelet
Probably the only element of the new F1 that didn’t feel quite right were the bracelet and strap options- and for different reasons.
Sime format 100c boiler user manual. When it comes to the steel & ceramic bracelet, the question is one of design: you either like the ceramic bricks or you don’t, and if I was to buy one of these, I’d be checking out whether the standard steel bracelet from the quartz F1 would fit the lugs.
The bracelet itself is nicely finished, with polished and brushed steel detailing. The clasp is the same one as used on the other Formula 1 models- it works well, but is not the same quality as that used on other, more expensive TAG Heuer models. Given the price differential between a quartz Formula 1 and say a Carrera 1887, you wouldn’t expect the same level of finishing.
But now that the new Calibre 16 models close that gap by around CHF1,000 (Swiss prices), it’s the feel of the rubber strap option that stands out as being not to the same standard as the rest of the watch.
The issue is not so much the strap itself, but the deployant clasp (below) that is a little of a let-down. The closing mechanism just doesn’t feel as polished and smooth as it should.
The reason that the clasp stands out is that the rest of the Calibre 16 Formula 1 looks and feels close to the quality of more expensive models. The only time that you are reminded of the more humble price point is with the clasp- fix that, and you’d find it hard to spot the difference.
Having said that, upgraded materials would likely mean a price increase- which is the dilemma of the new Formula 1…
Summary
Our previous view has been that the Formula 1 should remain a quartz-only model- upgraded high-end quartz movements, a range of sporty colours and an entry-level price would be in keeping with the spirit of the model, and of course retain the links to Formula 1 motor sport itself.
But having seen the new watches in person, there is another path for the Formula 1- an upgraded series on par with the Carrera, Link and Aquaracer that sets itself apart on the basis of its design rather than its price- yes, the new watch (deployant aside!) is that good and feels an appreciable step-up from the quartz F1 chronograph.
It’s too early to call the end of quartz movements in the Formula 1 series, but based on the 44mm Calibre 16 Formula 1, we’d be surprised if the new trio of mechanical chronographs weren’t simply the first chapter in a new direction for the Formula 1 series.

While there have been several generations of the TAG Heuer Formula 1 series since its launch in 1986, there has been one constant: Quartz. In fact, the spirit of the original series was based around low-cost materials (Fibreglass case, resin strap, simple sales packaging), bright colours and like the original Swatch watches of the 1980s was proudly quartz. A mechanical movement would have made no sense for either watch, given their positioning.

As the Formula 1 series has grown up, the tide has turned against quartz, with the majority of watch buyers today preferring mechanical movements.
And so twenty-seven years after the original Formula 1 series was launched, we now have the 2013 TAG Heuer Formula 1 Calibre 16- the first men’s automatic Formula 1 (yes, the Formula 1 Lady series got there first) is with us.
Design
Naturally, the mechanical F1 shares its style with its quartz brother, but with a few important differences. The most notable being size, with the Calibre 16 model stretching the tape to 44mm, 2mm larger than the current range.
Of course, the dial layout changes to the traditional Calibre 16 “12-6-9” layout and there is a new design for the central Chronograph hand, which you see above. For the first time, the design has the TAG Heuer logo incorporated into the base of the hand (a nice touch!), and the hand is finished in polished steel (with a red-tip, depending on model) as against the all-red Chronograph hand on the quartz Chronograph.
The other colour design flourish to note is the coloured finish on the two Chronograph pushers and Crown- again a style unique to the mechanical Formula 1. Perhaps this compensates for the loss of the colour TAG Heuer logo- there was a time when quartz TAG Heuer models used the color logo, while the automatic models uses a monochrome logo.
Finally, while the quartz Chronograph (below) has a minuterie scale on the edge of the dial (below), the Calibre 16 model offers this scale on an inner bezel.

Movement
As regular readers will know, the TAG Heuer Calibre 16 typically denotes the Valjoux/ ETA 7750 movement.
In the last 2 years, TAG Heuer has reacted to the shortage of movement supply coming from ETA (part of Swatch Group), by also using the Sellita SW-500. The Sellita is essentially the same movement as the ETA (being itself a cloned 7750), and TAG Heuer uses these two movements interchangeably now as the Calibre 16.
Formula 1 Steel & Ceramic- CAU2011
There are three models offered at launch- the first being a Steel & Ceramic model (Ceramic used for the bezel and the bricks in the bracelet). Reference CAU2011, the watch has a starburst anthracite dial and Red flourishes on the hands, Chronograph pushers and crown.
Formula 1 Steel & Ceramic- CAU2010
The second model is essentially the same as the model above- but without the Red finishing. Reference CAU2010 has a monochrome finish, with Black detailing on the Crown and Pushers.
Formula 1 Titanium Carbide- CAU2012
Fjr1300 service manual download. The sporty end of the range is represented by this model, which has a steel case coated with titanium carbide.
The Black case and ceramic bezel are contrasted by the bright Orange details on the dial and inner-bezel. The watch is much more in keeping with the bold and colourful approach of the original Formula 1 series, and makes a nice change from the more classical designs of the Steel & Ceramic models.
This version is available only a new-design rubber strap.
