TAG Heuer marks ten years of its partnership with Oracle Red Bull Racing with a new Formula 1 Solargraph special edition. The watch brings the racing team’s signature colors to a 38 mm design, incorporating solar-powered technology and details inspired by the original Formula 1 collection. The release continues a collaboration that began in 2016 and has accompanied the team’s victories and championship achievements.

The partnership has produced several timepieces over the past decade, reflecting the connection between Swiss watchmaking and competitive motorsport. For this anniversary, TAG Heuer draws on the Formula 1 collection’s origins in the 1980s, when the brand introduced a new generation of customers to Swiss watches through distinctive designs and racing references.
The new TAG Heuer Formula 1 Solargraph x Oracle Red Bull Racing centers on a blue sunray-brushed dial, referencing the team’s recognizable color scheme. A red flange carries a 60-second and minute scale, creating a clear division between the dial and its surrounding components. Black lacquered applied indexes contain white Super-LumiNova, which produces green luminescence in darkness.
The watch features the collection’s signature shield-shaped markers at six, nine, and twelve o’clock. Black lacquered, polished hour and minute hands also incorporate Super-LumiNova, while a yellow central seconds hand introduces another reference to the team’s colors. A date window sits at three o’clock, framed by a yellow outline.
TAG Heuer houses these elements within a 38 mm sandblasted steel case. Its matte surface gives the watch a technical finish, while a blue TH-Polylight bezel provides a distinctive exterior detail. The bidirectional rotating bezel carries a 60-second and minute scale, continuing the watch’s emphasis on timing.
A flat sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment protects the dial. The steel case includes a crown at three o’clock and offers water resistance up to 100 meters. On the screw-down caseback, TAG Heuer incorporates the Oracle Red Bull Racing logo alongside a checkered flag pattern, directly referencing the team’s presence in Formula 1.
The three-row sandblasted steel bracelet follows the case’s finish. Its articulated construction supports everyday wear, while a steel folding clasp features double safety push-buttons, an adjustment link extension, and TAG Heuer engraving.
Inside, the Caliber TH50-00 Solargraph movement uses natural and artificial light to generate energy. According to TAG Heuer, one minute of direct sunlight provides enough power for one day of operation. A full charge requires less than 40 hours of light exposure and delivers up to ten months of autonomy in complete darkness.
The movement can restart after ten seconds of light exposure, even when the watch has stopped. TAG Heuer also specifies an accumulator lifespan of up to fifteen years.
The special edition arrives in dedicated packaging featuring Oracle Red Bull Racing colors and the team’s logo. The anniversary edition introduces a new design within the Formula 1 Solargraph collection, connecting the watch’s technical specifications with a decade of collaboration between TAG Heuer and Oracle Red Bull Racing.
