TAG HEUER Formula 1 Black Blue White Fabric Strap FC8197 – 21.5 mm

Overview

This is an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) TAG Heuer Formula 1 Black Blue White Fabric Strap FC8197. It is designed for the New Formula 1 series. This strap is specifically compatible with models such as the CAZ1010. The strap is a direct replacement for the original fabric band. It offers a lightweight and breathable alternative to metal bracelets or leather straps. It is supplied with its original brushed stainless steel buckle, which features the distinctive TAG Heuer logo.

The strap is made from a durable fabric. It presents a black base with prominent blue and white stripes running along its length. This color combination provides a sporty aesthetic. It aligns with the Formula 1 collection’s racing heritage. The fabric construction offers comfort for extended wear. It is particularly suitable for active individuals or those in warmer climates.

The strap is new, never used. It is graded Excellent in our Condition Grading Scale below. It is sold without any OEM packaging. Any parts not explicitly mentioned in this description or not visible in the accompanying photographs are not included.

Specifications

The strap measures approximately 21.5 mm in width. Its total length is approximately 280 mm. This provides ample adjustment for various wrist sizes. The buckle is made from brushed stainless steel. This material offers durability and corrosion resistance. It is permanently affixed to one end of the strap.

The fabric material is engineered for resilience against fraying, abrasion, and exposure to water and UV light. This makes it a practical choice for daily wear. The edges are heat-sealed to prevent premature wear and maintain structural integrity over time. The strap’s construction provides a snug fit for the specified TAG Heuer Formula 1 models.

The strap is marked TAG HEUER on the buckle.
