Celebrating Two Decades of Racing: TAG Heuer Formula 1 Chronograph x Oracle Red Bull Racing

Marking Oracle Red Bull Racing’s 20th anniversary, TAG Heuer introduces the Formula 1 Chronograph x Oracle Red Bull Racing, a limited-edition watch that honors two decades of racing excellence. With only 3,000 pieces available, this timepiece encapsulates the spirit of high-speed achievements and championship victories.

A Design Rooted in Racing

The TAG Heuer Formula 1 Chronograph x Oracle Red Bull Racing showcases a bold black DLC-coated steel case and an asphalt-textured blue dial inspired by the track. The team’s signature livery informs the color palette, blending high-contrast blue, yellow, and red tones. For the first time, the Oracle Red Bull Racing logo appears prominently on a TAG Heuer dial, between 7 and 10 o’clock, symbolizing the close collaboration between the two icons of precision and performance.

The 6 o’clock subdial nods to high-performance speedometers, with striking red markers evoking the start line of a race. The red lacquered pusher at 2 o’clock adds a dynamic detail, tying the design to the team’s racing heritage.

Precision in Every Second

Powered by a quartz movement, the Formula 1 Chronograph delivers accuracy and reliability. The dial features three counters:

  • 3 o’clock: Permanent seconds indicator with a red hand
  • 6 o’clock: 1/10th-second chronograph counter with red graduations
  • 9 o’clock: Minute chronograph counter with red accents every five seconds

White Super-LumiNova®-treated indexes and hands ensure clarity in low light, while the yellow lacquered central chronograph hand enhances the sporty aesthetic.

Built for Performance and Versatility

The black DLC-coated steel case, measuring 43mm in diameter, is paired with a sapphire crystal for scratch resistance and a steel bezel with an aluminum tachymeter insert. A screw-down crown and caseback ensure water resistance up to 200 meters, making the watch durable for various conditions.

The engraved caseback celebrates Oracle Red Bull Racing’s 20th anniversary, with the inscription “ONE OF 3000” underscoring its exclusivity. The textured blue rubber strap, secured with a black DLC steel folding clasp, adds both comfort and durability.
