S/EL, or Sports Elegance, was a long running design by TAG Heuer for the late 80’s and 1990’s. Model reference CG1110-1.
HOW DO WE DATE THIS WATCH?
The S/EL models ran from 1986 to 1999, but the first chronograph with this movement models were not introduced until 1995 model year. In 1997 the dial changed slightly, to the variant we have here, and the S/EL range was replaced in 1999 buy the Link models. The price of this watch in 1998 was £1,325.
CONDITION
The S/EL must be one of the easiest to recognise models from the 1990’s, helped by advertising that included Ayrton Senna. As well as a full 200M divers specification, this chronograph has no fewer than seven hands as it can measure 1/10th of a second, seconds, minutes, and up to 12 hours (as well as the three time telling hands). You also get a quick set date at 4, and sapphire crystal. Everything is working correctly, and we will install a brand new battery before sending the watch out to the new owner. Cosmetically this is in very good order too, and the 60 bezel clicks positively. This model is on a lightly used TAG Heuer signed leather strap, with the correct signed buckle too.
