Tag Heuer Microtimer Ref: CS111C-1

TAG Heuer Microtimer Ref: CS111C-1 with a wonderfully complex TAG Heuer Quartz movement.

Case diameter: 38mm across by 43mm long, this watch is 12mm thick and a a lug width of 32mm it has a substantial presence on the wrist. It recently underwent a gentle polish and cleaning.

This watch gives serious Judge Dredd/post-modernism vibes. Fitted on the original rubber strap it will accommodate a wrist size up to 7-1/4".

In 1966, Heuer (before it was TAG Heuer) patented the first miniaturized electronic timekeeping instrument accurate to 1/1000th of a second. Now, 38 years later, TAG Heuer releases the first wristwatch capable of the same level of precision: the Microtimer.
