TAG Heuer Gives the Formula 1 Solargraph A Red Bull Racing Livery

TAG Heuer Gives the Formula 1 Solargraph A Red Bull Racing Livery

Red Bull’s 2026 has been rough by its own standards, but Max Verstappen has just won back-to-back in Malaysia and Singapore, so there's some optimism stirring in the Red Bull paddock. Good timing for TAG Heuer to mark 10 years with the team, and four Verstappen titles, with a new Formula 1 Solargraph. If you haven’t followed the revival, this is the 38mm solar-powered Formula 1 that TAG brought back in 2025 and has since released in brights, pastels, an Indy 500 version and an orange Zandvoort edition. This one is painted in the colors of Red Bull, but I have to say good work TAG Heuer for not making this a Red Bull commercial by not using the logo. Good work.

The case is sandblasted stainless steel, 38mm wide and 10.2mm thick, with a lug-to-lug of 42mm. Those are friendly numbers, with the short L2L working on a lot of wrists, and the matte finish suits the sporty nature. The scalloped bezel is blue TH-Polylight with a white minute scale printed around it. Sapphire crystal on top, screwed caseback out back, water resistant to 100 meters. The team and brand logos are placed on the caseback over a checkered-flag pattern.

The dial is sunray blue with a red minute track at the edge, a yellow central seconds hand, and a yellow frame around the date at three. It’s loud, nut it works. The shield-shaped markers at six, nine and 12 remain, and the rest of the applied indices are filled with Super-LumiNova that glows green.

Inside is the TAG Heuer calibre TH50-00, a solar quartz movement. A minute of direct sun gives you a day or reserve, a full charge takes under 40 hours of light, and that charge lasts 10 months in a drawer. If it does stop, 10 seconds of light restarts it, and TAG rates the accumulator for up to 15 years. The bracelet is a sandblasted three-row steel design that closes with a folding clasp with two safety pushers and has an extension link.

The TAG Heuer Formula 1 Solargraph x Oracle Red Bull Racing (ref. WBY111F.BA0042) goes on sale 20 October at 7AM UTC, priced at €2,200. I'm not sure whether this is a limited edition, though. TAG Heuer calls it a special edition. See more on the TAG Heuer website.
