Bezel: There bezel on the TAG F1 Quartz has more numerals on it than the bezel of the automatic.Crown: The TAG F1 Automatic has an indented stripe on the winding crown that is not seen on the crown of the TAG F1 quartz.The Formula 1 Automatic has the TAG Heuer logo in white. Logo: The Formula 1 Quartz has the logo in green and red, TAG Heuer's brand colors.They differ in appearance in some of the more minute design details.ħ Differences Between The TAG Heuer Formula 1 Quartz and the F1 Automatic It's actually one of the reasons many people start collecting watches in the first place. They can often look through the transparent case back on many watches and marvel at the mechanics all moving together. Many watch lovers prefer a mechanical movement such as an automatic/self-winding watch since it has fascinating micro-mechanics that provide an esoteric value to the watch.
These are the big differences in terms of the internal organs of the watches and as you can see they are quite different on the inside. An automatic movement which is also called a self-winding movement is wound up when first used, usually via the winding crown, and then is "recharged" via a rotor using the kinetic energy generated as you wear it.
Quartz is a high-frequency crystal and it resonates at 32,768 revolutions per second giving higher accuracy.Īn automatic movement, on the other hand, is purely mechanical and doesn’t require any batteries to power the watch. The battery sends an electric current to the quartz crystal which then creates a vibration or as watchmakers call it an oscillation. Let's first explain the differences between the two types of movements.Ī quartz watch uses a quartz movement which is powered by a watch battery and a quartz crystal.
