The Swiss luxury watch brand TAG Heuer has added a new special edition to its racing story. The "TAG Heuer Formula 1 Solargraph x Oracle Red Bull Racing" is a timepiece shaped by the relentless pursuit of better performance that defines TAG Heuer Formula 1, and it was unveiled on October 12, 2026.
Since 2016, the collaboration between TAG Heuer and Oracle Red Bull Racing has rested on a shared philosophy of unwavering commitment to precision and performance. Over the years, the partnership has produced a series of timepieces that mirror the team's evolution on the track, from dramatic victories to dominant championship seasons. Each model captured a historic moment and turned a milestone of motor racing into a wearable design that embodies speed and control.
The 10th anniversary of the partnership is a natural extension of that journey. It also reflects how the two have grown alongside the modern racing scene shaped by TAG Heuer Formula 1, where mere fractions of a second separate winners from the rest and innovation creates every advantage. The collection carries on a tradition rooted in the 1980s, when TAG Heuer Formula 1 introduced a new generation to the appeal of Swiss watchmaking through its bold design and direct ties to motorsport culture. In 2026, that momentum picks up further with a new release aimed at a new generation of watch fans, who express their connection to motor racing not only through performance but also through their own identity and style.
Built on this philosophy and history, the "TAG Heuer Formula 1 Solargraph x Oracle Red Bull Racing" captures the speed and rhythm of the circuit in a 38 mm silhouette that gives the TAG Heuer Formula 1 world a new look.
"Ten years ago, TAG Heuer and Oracle Red Bull Racing joined forces under a simple belief that every moment can decide the outcome. Since then, we have shared the joy of the podium and the honor of titles, along with an unrelenting passion for winning. This special edition celebrates the journey so far while looking ahead to the future. With the Solargraph movement in a 38 mm case, it brings the heat of the circuit to a new generation of watch fans who love motor racing not just as a sport but as a culture. This is exactly what our tagline, 'Designed to Win,' stands for." (TAG Heuer CEO)
Ten Years of History on the Dial
The dial at the heart of the special edition is designed to catch the eye at a glance. A deep blue dial reflecting the team colors of Oracle Red Bull Racing is paired with vivid red minute markers, which create a sharp contrast and tighten the design.
The balance between bold coloring and fine detailing creates a visual language that combines elegance with expressiveness and adds a new dimension to the TAG Heuer Formula 1 aesthetic. Applied indexes coated with white Super-LumiNova® ensure excellent legibility in any conditions, highlighting the functional DNA of TAG Heuer Formula 1. The signature shield placed at the 6, 9 and 12 o'clock positions creates an orderly rhythm and firmly roots the collection's identity on the dial.
The hour hand carries the design of the original TAG Heuer Formula 1 model and works in harmony with the minute and seconds hands, which follow the same original form, so the time can be read accurately at a glance. Every detail is made to meet the demanding requirements of the circuit, where top performance is needed under intense pressure.
The matte finish of the sandblasted stainless steel case brings out the technical character of the timepiece, while the bezel made of innovative TH-Polylight gives it a distinctive visual identity. The bidirectional rotating bezel adds depth and a three-dimensional feel to the design without compromising durability. The interplay between the sculpted surface structure and the more streamlined contours brings a refined tension to the design, adding softness to the overall form while keeping a sharp edge full of racing spirit.
The case takes its inspiration from the original TAG Heuer Formula 1 model, a strong link to the origins of the collection. The date window at 3 o'clock is placed carefully so that it keeps the balance of the whole dial while remaining practical for everyday use. Completing the watch is a three-link stainless steel bracelet whose supple construction fits naturally on the wrist for a secure and comfortable feel. It suits every occasion, from daily wear to special events.
The bond with Oracle Red Bull Racing appears throughout the special edition. On the case back, the team's logo is engraved next to the TAG Heuer logo as a bold visual marker, and a checkered flag pattern subtly evokes the story of motor racing.
These elements tie the timepiece firmly to a world where every detail leads to results.
"Over the past 10 years, TAG Heuer has been an invaluable partner for Oracle Red Bull Racing, and we have shared a commitment to the highest levels of precision, innovation and performance. The new 'Formula 1 Solargraph x Oracle Red Bull Racing' celebrates our successful 10 years of partnership, bringing together the team's energy and ambition with TAG Heuer's pioneering approach to watchmaking. It is a timepiece that reflects the relentless pursuit of speed, precision and excellence that connects our two brands." (Laurent Mekies, CEO and Team Principal, Oracle Red Bull Racing)
The special packaging embodies the colors and visual identity of Oracle Red Bull Racing through a dedicated color palette and the team's logo.
Powered by the Solargraph movement, the new timepiece draws on not only sunlight but even indoor lighting, giving it a virtually inexhaustible source of energy. Exposing the watch to direct sunlight for just one minute provides a full day of power. Once fully charged with less than 40 hours of light exposure, it keeps running for up to about 10 months, even in complete darkness. If the watch happens to stop, just 10 seconds of light gets it running again, and the rechargeable battery has a lifespan of about 15 years.
The release is described as a fitting way to mark the 10-year milestone. It reflects a new rhythm emerging in the world of motor racing, full of individuality, energy and presence, in a form that fits naturally on the wrist and expresses a refined personality.
