TAG Heuer Launch Formula 1 Solargraph x Oracle Red Bull Racing for Partnership Anniversary

TAG Heuer Formula 1 Solargraph x Oracle Red Bull Racing

TAG Heuer and Oracle Red Bull Racing first established their partnership in 2016, making 2026 their 10th anniversary together. To celebrate a decade of collaboration, TAG Heuer has launched the new Formula 1 Solargraph x Oracle Red Bull Racing edition. It’s also a well-timed launch with Max Verstappen putting his foot down for a dominant win for Red Bull at the Singapore Grand Prix last weekend.

It’s the latest in a line of racing themed Formula 1 colourways that includes summer’s orange edition for the Dutch GP. As such, the specifications and style of the watch are largely familiar already. It features a 38mm steel case with a sandblasted finish and distinctive, curving shoulders above 12 o’clock and below 6 o’clock. The lugs are hidden below those shoulders, giving the watch a quasi-integrated bracelet appearance.

The Red Bull theming is present across the dial and bezel, which are both an intense blue colour while the minutes scale is red and the seconds hand and date window border are yellow. Those are the iconic colours of the Red Bull logo with the titular bull charging in front of the sun against a field of blue. It’s a bold and graphic colour scheme that suits the exaggerated shapes of the Formula 1 with its combination of TAG Heuer logo and circle-shaped hour markers.

Below the dial is the solargraph calibre TH50-00, which uses a quartz regulator powered by solar cells that are charged by light that passes through the translucent dial. It’s protected by a solid steel caseback decorated with a special edition motif celebrating the shared history of Oracle Red Bull Racing and TAG Heuer.

It’s presented in a special edition display box and is priced at £1,900. That’s the same price as the previous racing editions on steel bracelet. At time of writing, Verstappen still has a chance of winning the Drivers’ Championship 2026 for Red Bull, which would be a fantastic result for the 10th anniversary, but with Antonelli on the verge of shutting the door and tying it up in the next few races, Verstappen is in a drive to survive.
