Notes

Dial, case and movement signed. DIM. 42 x 44 mm. THICKNESS 14 mm. Launched in 1974, the SILVERSTONE was a nice alternative to the other square-cased chronograph available at the time, the MONACO. Available in 3 different colors (blue, red and grey), the Silverstone reached cult status for collectors since SWISS FORMULA ONE driver CLAY REGAZZONI was sponsored and seen sitting in his Formula one car wearing the blue-dialed version. TAG HEUER re-launched the Silverstone in 2010 in celebration of the 150th anniversary of the brand.
