TAG Heuer marks 10 years with Oracle Red Bull Racing on a 38mm Solargraph

TAG Heuer is marking ten years with Oracle Red Bull Racing through a new Formula 1 Solargraph special edition. The 38mm steel watch carries the team's blue, red and yellow into a compact, motorsport-rooted case, and it is priced at $2,250 through the brand's website and boutiques.

The partnership dates back to 2016, a decade that maps onto Red Bull Racing's climb through the modern Formula 1 era. Across those years the two names produced a succession of collaborative timepieces, each one translated from the team's garage colors into Swiss watchmaking.

For the anniversary, TAG Heuer reached for the Formula 1 Solargraph, a lineage that introduced a younger audience to Swiss watches in the 1980s with its bright, playful dials. The new release keeps that silhouette and swaps in contemporary solar-powered technology.

The result is a more youthful reading of the brand's racing identity. Oracle Red Bull Racing's palette leads the design: a blue sunray-brushed dial ringed by a vivid red minute track, and its bezel is a matching blue TH-Polylight piece with bidirectional rotation.

A yellow lacquered central seconds hand adds the third team color, and the same yellow outlines the date window at three o'clock. Black lacquered hour and minute hands and applied indexes carry white Super-LumiNova that glows green once the light drops.

The case is sandblasted stainless steel, a matte and technical finish set against the brighter dial. It is on a three-row steel bracelet closed by a folding clasp, and the clasp carries an adjustment extension so the fit can move with a wrist or a temperature.

On the reverse, a solid steel caseback pairs the Oracle Red Bull Racing logo with a checkered-flag motif. The engraving keeps the motorsport connection alive without adding more branding to the face, which already carries enough team color for both sides.

Inside, the watch runs on the Caliber TH50-00 Solargraph, a movement that recharges its battery from natural and artificial light. Sixty seconds of direct sunlight is enough to run the watch for a full day, which is the spec that puts the Solargraph family among the most practical solar watches we cover.

A complete charge asks for 40 hours of light exposure, and it returns up to ten months of continuous running in total darkness. That endurance figure is unusual even among solar quartz competitors, and it makes the watch a low-friction option for a daily wearer.

TAG Heuer is the motorsport name in the LVMH watch portfolio, the maison that brought chronographs to the dashboard and the wrist through generations of drivers. Its Formula 1 collection has long been the entry point into that story, mixing racing cues with accessible pricing.

We hold a full reference guide to the brand, where its recommended retail prices sit alongside the story of how TAG Heuer built its racing identity. The Solargraph line has been part of that modern chapter, pairing the collection's bright dials with the low-maintenance solar movement.

This anniversary edition lands in the same $2,250 territory as much of the Formula 1 line, which keeps it within reach of the younger audience the collection was built for in the first place. The team branding, though, gives it a collectibility the standard models do not carry.

What the team colors bring

The black lacquered hands keep the face readable against all of it.

The Super-LumiNova, applied in white but glowing green in the dark, is a small inversion worth noting. The green legibility is a functional choice rather than a team color, and it means the watch reads clearly at night even while its branding stays on the brighter spectrum.

The watch ships in a custom box reflecting the team's visual identity, a detail that wraps the racing partnership around the ownership experience rather than stopping at the dial. Availability runs through the TAG Heuer website and its boutiques rather than through third-party channels.

For anyone weighing the piece against the wider field, our coverage of style keeps its look at how racing-derived design moves into everyday wear. The anniversary framing also echoes other milestone releases we have tracked this year, from archive revivals to limited anniversary pieces.

What the maison has not disclosed is a production limit, which leaves the run open-ended rather than numbered. That makes it a wider release than a collector-only edition, and it means the anniversary story is being told through the design and the movement rather than through scarcity.
