With its latest release, TAG Heuer has taken the initiative and revived classic 80s F1 watches with modern build quality. Inspired primarily by classic vintage Formula 1 cars, the new TAG Heuer Formula 1 Kith Replica collection redefines the brand’s entry-level line with a clean, compact, vintage-style three-hand design that continues the spirit of the first TAG Heuer branded watches.
Lightweight, durable, and silky to the touch, these new cases feel far more luxurious on the wrist than the 80s originals, despite being colored plastic. Even the fine details—the serrations of the thick-toothed dive bezel, the seams on the case sides, and the raised “Formula 1” text at 6 o’clock—feel sharper and more legible than their vintage counterparts.
These arnite cases come in a variety of colors, just like the 80s originals, with a few new additions. For the Kith Toronto and Kith New York, the Cheap Tag Heuer Replica feature a sleek matte black finish, giving the funky 80s design a softer, more modern feel. There are other material improvements here, too, such as replacing the original acrylic with a sapphire crystal.
TAG Heuer’s cases are made from stainless steel, either fully matte-blasted or with a black PVD coating. All 10 models in the collection offer truly impressive sporting performance to back up the sporty 80s looks, including 200m of diving water resistance. Like the cases, the dials of the new TAG Heuer Formula 1 Kith collection bear a striking resemblance to their 80s predecessors.
The basic dial layout should be familiar to any fan of the brand – the Mercedes hand-held dial, 3 o’clock date window, contrasting outer minute track and the distinctive combination of circular printed diving indices and stylized Tag Heuer Replica Watches shield-shaped markings are all foundational elements of the original Formula 1 collection. Likewise, most of the colorways are taken directly from the classic Formula 1 series, including the white and red Kith Tokyo, and the crisp white and navy Kith Los Angeles.
Interestingly, as a watch that commemorates TAG Heuer’s first branded design, these models are the first examples of the brand’s shield logo being combined with another logo. That’s not to say that the “Kith Heuer” logo printed at 12 o’clock isn’t interesting or visually appealing, but there is a certain irony in the re-creation of TAG Heuer’s first watch without the TAG Heuer logo printed on it. These are enough to immediately distinguish them from their predecessors on the wrist, which should make Kith’s street-style marketing approach more effective.
Given TAG Heuer Replica Buy Now focus on improving the materials of the Formula 1 Kith series, it’s no surprise that the strap options on display take a more refined, modern approach to classic 80s style. The original Formula 1 models came on wild, colorful, boldly branded plastic straps that were worn out of the box and have aged easily.
In contrast, the rubber straps on the Formula 1 Kith collection are much softer, more flexible, and likely more wear-resistant, while still offering vibrant colors, including bright red, signal yellow, forest green, cobalt blue, brick red, sand beige, and black. To match the dials, the straps also playfully rock the original oversized engraved TAG Heuer Replica Watches For Sale shield emblem to form the collection’s unique “Kith Heuer” variant logo. For the nude stainless steel models, TAG Heuer uses a fully matte five-link bracelet that is lightweight and comfortable, with “Kith Heuer” printed on the clasp.
Among TAG Heuer First Copy Watches fans (myself included), few watches hold as much historical significance and pure fun as the original F1. The revival of the classic F1 has been quietly rumored and speculated for several years, and on paper, the TAG Heuer F1 Kith collection fits the bill, with a visual update that’s in keeping with the times, with striking colors, modern materials, and a trendy streetwear vibe. However, things get a little tricky when it comes to availability and pricing.
