New: TAG Heuer Formula 1 Chronograph Oracle Red Bull Racing

TAG Heuer has partnered with Oracle Red Bull racing since 2017, and there have been seven watches commemorating their alliance. Now, to celebrate the team’s 20th anniversary, a new Formula 1 Chronograph joins the collection. As expected, this watch blends the team colors and a highly technical look to create a sporty timepiece.The Oracle Red Bull team marks its 20th anniversary. Looking back, the venture has won eight drivers’ championships and six constructors’ titles. Alongside Mercedes, this is the most storied team of the past two decades. Fittingly, a new limited-edition TAG Heuer chronograph is here, so let’s take a brief look.The TAG Heuer Formula 1 Chronograph Oracle Red Bull RacingThe latest collaboration watch for TAG Heuer and Oracle Red Bull Racing uses the familiar 43mm by 48.6mm Formula 1 Chronograph case. In this application, the steel case and bezel are coated with black DLC. The watch includes a blue aluminum tachymeter bezel insert and a 200m water resistance rating. A dark blue rubber strap with an asphalt texture joins a DLC-coated folding clasp.Colorful and sportyUnsurprisingly, this Formula 1 chronograph is decked out in the team’s colors. A grainy dark blue dial works with large, printed Super-LumiNova numerals and the “Red Bull” text along the left side. Then, a yellow central chronograph hand and hour markers add contrast. Happily, this model uses a traditional 3-6-9 layout for the sub-dials with a date window at 4 o’clock. The sub-dials show running seconds, 1/10th of a second, and a 30-minute totalizer. Quartz keeps it thinThe TAG Heuer Formula 1 Chronograph Oracle Red Bull Racing uses a battery-powered Swiss-made quartz movement. As a result, it’s just 12.4mm including the flat sapphire crystal and screw-in case back. Finally, regarding the case back, it is specially inscribed with the team’s logo and a graphic commemorating 20 years.Availability and pricingLike most collaboration watches, the TAG Heuer Formula 1 Chronograph Oracle Red Bull Racing is a limited edition.
