TAG Heuer Presents the New Formula 1 Solargraph x Oracle Red Bull Racing Watch

TAG Heuer has always been synonymous with Formula 1, a relationship that began with Jack Heuer’s innovative partnerships in the 1970s. The Formula 1 collection is emblematic of the maison’s deep ties to the sport. As the 2026 season of the sport gears up for the final few races, the watchmaker has unveiled a new special edition in its racing story. Marking a decade of partnership with the Oracle Red Bull Racing team, the TAG Heuer Formula 1 Solargraph x Oracle Red Bull Racing is shaped by the continuous pursuit of performance that defines this collection. 

Since 2016, the collaboration between TAG Heuer and Oracle Red Bull Racing has been fuelled by a shared mindset and commitment to precision and performance. Over the years, this alliance has produced a series of timepieces that mirror the evolution of the team on track, from breakthrough victories to championship dominance. Each release has captured a moment in time, translating racing milestones into wearable expressions of speed and control. This 10-year milestone stands as a natural continuation of that journey. It reflects a partnership that has grown alongside the modern era of TAG Heuer Formula 1, where milliseconds define outcomes and innovation drives every advantage. The collection itself carries a legacy rooted in the 1980s, when TAG Heuer Formula 1 first introduced a new generation to Swiss watchmaking through bold design and a direct connection to motorsport culture. 

In 2026, this momentum expands further, with a creation that engages a new wave of watch wearers whose connection to racing is as much about identity and style as it is about performance. The TAG Heuer Formula 1 Solargraph x Oracle Red Bull Racing builds on this mindset and history, capturing the rhythm of the track and channelling it into a 38 mm silhouette conceived to bring new expression to the TAG Heuer Formula 1 universe. 

“Ten years ago, TAG Heuer and Oracle Red Bull Racing came together around a simple conviction: every fraction of a second matters. Since then, we have shared podiums, titles and the same relentless drive to win. This special edition celebrates that journey while looking firmly ahead. With its 38 mm case and Solargraph movement, it brings the energy of the grid to a new generation of watch enthusiasts, for whom racing is as much a culture as a sport. It is everything Designed to Win stands for,” states Béatrice Goasglas, CEO of TAG Heuer.

A Decade on the Dial

At the heart of the special edition TAG Heuer Formula 1 Solargraph x Oracle Red Bull Racing is the dial that pays homage to this incredible partnership. A deep blue surface reflects the iconic colours of Oracle Red Bull Racing, while a vivid red minuterie cuts across the design with sharp contrast. The balance between bold colours and controlled detailing creates a visual language that is both elegant and expressive, adding a new dimension to the TAG Heuer Formula 1 aesthetic. Applied indexes filled with white Super LumiNova® ensure clarity in all conditions, reinforcing the functional DNA of TAG Heuer Formula 1. The signature shields positioned at 6, 9 and 12 o’clock introduce a structured rhythm, grounding the dial within the collection’s identity. 

The original hour hand, a defining element within the TAG Heuer Formula 1, works in harmony with the original minute and second hands to create a clear and immediate reading of time. Every detail is designed to perform under pressure, reflecting the demands of the track. The sandblasted steel case’s matte finish enhances the technical character of the watch, while the innovative TH-Polylight bezel introduces a distinctive visual signature. With its bidirectional construction, the bezel adds depth and complexity without compromising durability. The interplay between structured surfaces and more fluid contours introduces a refined tension within the design, softening the overall architecture while preserving its racing edge. The case draws inspiration from the original TAG Heuer Formula 1 models, reinforcing a direct link to the collection’s origins. 

The date window at 3 o’clock is positioned with precision, maintaining balance across the dial while adding everyday functionality. Completing the piece, the steel three-row bracelet ensures a secure and comfortable fit through a more articulated construction that adapts naturally to the wrist and enhances every day and every occasion wearability.

The connection to Oracle Red Bull Racing is expressed with clarity throughout the watch. Even on the case back, the team’s logo is integrated as a strong visual marker alongside the TAG Heuer logo, while a checkered flag pattern subtly reinforces the racing narrative. 

Laurent Mekies, CEO and Team Principal of Oracle Red Bull Racing explains, “Over the past decade, TAG Heuer has been a valued partner of Oracle Red Bull Racing, sharing our commitment to precision, innovation and performance at the highest level. This new Formula 1 Solargraph x Oracle Red Bull Racing watch celebrates 10 years of a successful partnership, combining the energy and ambition of our team with TAG Heuer’s pioneering approach to watchmaking. It’s a piece that reflects the speed, accuracy and relentless pursuit of excellence that connect both our brands.”

A special packaging incorporates the colours and visual identity of Oracle Red Bull Racing through a dedicated colour palette and the team’s logo. Powered by the Solargraph movement, the watch harnesses both natural and artificial light as a virtually unlimited energy source. A one-minute exposure to direct sunlight is enough to power the watch for an entire day, while a full charge, reached in under 40 hours of light exposure, delivers up to 10 months of autonomy in total darkness. Even after stopping, the watch restarts with just 10 seconds of light exposure, and its accumulator offers an impressive lifespan of up to 15 years, ensuring reliable performance over time. There is a new rhythm shaping the world of racing, defined by individuality, movement and presence. This watch captures that shift, translating it into a form that feels instinctive on the wrist and natural in its expression, perfect to mark a 10-year anniversary.
