Hands-on Commentary

The Formula 1 Chronograph is one of TAG Heuer’s core collection. It has been part of the TAG Heuer collection since 1986, with a quartz movement.

The current catalog has the Formula 1 Chronograph with mechanical movement presented with steel cases. This year, the watches are offered in titanium cases. A special edition to celebrate TAG Heuer’s long time collaboration with Oracle Red Bull Racing is also released.

Four new models are released for the core collection, viz with a red, blue and lime green colour-way, all in black DLC titanium cases. In addition, the red accented model is also available in a natural titinium case, making four models in the regular catalog. We handled all the watches during the LVMH Watch Week showing earlier today in Singapore.

All 5 watches in this collection is now housed in a new titanium case and is powered by the Caliber 16. This LVMH Watch Week release focuses on the long collaboration with Oracle Red Bull Racing and bring you live photographs. The reference is in a titanium in a natural finish, and features the regular aluminium bezel, but this time with a forged carbon insert.

The differentiating factor to the four core watches which have black opalin dials, is that the dial on the Oracle Red Bull Racing edition is in blue opaline with checked patterns.

All watches are 44mm in diameter. As this is not a diving watch, the bezels are fixed. The Special Edition also comes in a packing with Oracle Red Bull Racing logo and livery.

Release details

Alongside the core collection, TAG Heuer adds a special edition automatic chronograph created in collaboration with Oracle Red Bull Racing, one of the brand’s most successful partnerships.

Since the partnership began in 2016, TAG Heuer and Oracle Red Bull Racing have unveiled eight coveted timepieces that have captivated fans and watch enthusiasts alike. United by a shared passion for precision, innovation, and the thrill of pushing boundaries, this collaboration reflects the dynamic spirit that defines both brands. This latest exclusive timepiece builds on that synergy, offering a more refined interpretation of the partnership and elevating TAG Heuer’s racing-inspired collection to new levels of sophistication.

The TAG Heuer Formula 1 Chronograph x Oracle Red Bull Racing includes a grade-2 titanium case, a tachymeter bezel with a forged carbon insert, and a blue opaline dial with a checkered flag pattern that evokes the heart of F1. Every detail of this model reflects Oracle Red Bull Racing’s iconic colors, with Pantone hues carefully applied for authenticity. The checkered pattern, synonymous with the world of F1, is subtly engraved on the caseback, alongside the TAG Heuer and Oracle Red Bull Racing logos.

A striking element is the red lacquer in the crown and the colored ring between the case and bezel, which adds a dynamic burst of color to the sleek design, complemented by the yellow lacquered central hand. The shaped pushers and skeletonized rhodium-plated hour and minute hands elevate the modern feel, while the bi-colored blue and red strap mirrors Oracle Red Bull Racing’s racing livery and the F1 cars dynamic color signatures.

The special packaging features the Oracle Red Bull Racing logo and livery colors, completing the experience and offering collectors and racing fans a unique and coveted timepiece.

With the new TAG Heuer Formula 1 watches’ bold approach, meticulous attention to detail, and strong connection to F1, TAG Heuer once again redefines what it means to create a timepiece that is both functional and distinctive, speaking to any generation of watch lovers.
