What to know

TAG Heuer's partnership with Oracle Red Bull Racing enters a more accessible, colourful chapter with a special Formula 1 Solargraph. Reference WBY111F.BA0042 is a compact 38mm three-hand model rather than a chronograph, dressed in the racing team's blue, red and yellow colour language. Its sunray-brushed blue dial contrasts with a vivid red flange and yellow central seconds hand, while black lacquered markers and hands ensure the colours remain readable rather than merely decorative.

The sandblasted stainless-steel case measures 38mm across and 10.2mm thick. A bidirectional bezel made from TAG Heuer's TH-Polylight material brings the Formula 1 collection's playful early design vocabulary into the present, while a matching sandblasted steel bracelet features a double-security folding clasp. A sapphire crystal and 100-metre water resistance complete its everyday-sport specifications.

Inside is the TH50-00 Solargraph calibre, a solar-powered quartz movement that recharges in natural or artificial light. TAG Heuer says a complete charge gives up to ten months of autonomy, and describes a battery lifespan of up to 15 years. The watch displays hours, minutes, seconds and date without the complexity or thickness of a mechanical chronograph.

A special solid steel caseback carries the TAG Heuer and Oracle Red Bull Racing logos alongside a checkered-flag engraving. It is a quieter collaboration detail than the vibrant front, reinforcing the connection to the team without covering the dial in sponsorship branding.

TAG Heuer labels the watch a special edition and lists early online access from October 20, 2026. On the American official storefront it is priced at $2,250. The appeal lies in the contrast between energetic pit-lane colours and an uncomplicated, light-powered watch that suits ordinary daily wear as readily as race weekend.
