A Partnership Forged in Precision
Since their alliance began in 2016, TAG Heuer and Oracle Red Bull Racing have shared a mutual drive for innovation and fraction-of-a-second accuracy. Béatrice Goasglas, CEO of TAG Heuer, noted that the collaboration reflects a shared conviction that every fraction of a second matters, celebrating both past milestones and a forward-looking mindset. Laurent Mekies, CEO & Team Principal of Oracle Red Bull Racing, echoed this sentiment, emphasizing that the timepiece captures the speed, accuracy, and relentless pursuit of excellence connecting both brands.
Design Meets High-Octane Performance
Rooted in the bold aesthetic that made the original TAG Heuer Formula 1 line a cultural phenomenon in the 1980s, this release brings a refreshed, modern dimension to the wrist with a 38 mm sandblasted matte steel case. The deep blue sunray-brushed dial reflects Oracle Red Bull Racing's signature colors, contrasted by a vivid red minuterie, applied black lacquered indexes, and hands treated with white Super-LumiNova for optimal legibility. The watch also incorporates a bidirectional TH-Polylight bezel in blue, a 3 o'clock yellow date window, a screw-down case back featuring the team logo and checkered flag pattern, and an articulated three-row steel bracelet.
Powered by Light: The Caliber TH50-00 Solargraph Movement
At the core of the timepiece is the advanced Caliber TH50-00 Solargraph movement, which harnesses both natural and artificial light as a virtually limitless power source. Just one minute of direct sunlight powers the watch for a full day, while a full charge achieved in under 40 hours provides up to ten months of autonomy in total darkness. Furthermore, if the watch stops, it restarts with a mere ten seconds of light exposure, and its accumulator offers an impressive lifespan of up to fifteen years. The TAG Heuer Formula 1 Solargraph x Oracle Red Bull Racing (Ref. WBY111F.BA0042) is available starting October 2026. The retail pricing is set at 2,100 CHF in Switzerland, 2,200.
As TAG Heuer and Oracle Red Bull Racing look ahead to the next chapter of their high-octane alliance, the Formula 1 Solargraph special edition stands as a fitting tribute to a decade of shared velocity, precision, and innovation. By blending retro 1980s motorsport flair with sustainable solar-powered technology, this timepiece captures the relentless competitive spirit that defines both brands on and off the track. Whether worn by motorsport enthusiasts or fine watch collectors, it serves as a bold reminder that every fraction of a second and every year of partnership, truly counts.
