TAG Heuer has recently introduced three new timepieces into their Formula 1 collection. They announced three new stylish models in bright, energetic new colours related to Formula 1 and the racetrack. One is a vibrant green, a daring red, and the last is sunshine yellow.
These magnificent new quartz sports watches encapsulate the spirit of the original TAG Heuer Formula 1 timepieces from the 1980s, which were praised for their exciting and youthful colours and character.
The new pieces are sure to make a statement and catch the eye, and they are perfect for watchmaking fanatics who appreciate a more edgy piece that combines supreme performance with a bold style.
The link between green, yellow and red and the automotive industry is not just their use in traffic lights. They are the signature motorsport colours and have been for decades.
These striking new colours of the new TAG Heuer Formula 1 pieces are a direct reference to the brands' history and connection to motorsport, as they carry on the legacy of the race car livery colours established in the Interwar era.
These colours indicated the nation of origin of the car, the driver or the team, for example, British Racing Green, yellow for gold, Rosso Corsa Italian red, and the list goes on.
These three colours traditionally ruled the track until the 1970s; however, their history in racing is still very relevant today; with yellow flags, red lights, and green team liveries, it is undeniable that they still make up the palette of motorsports.
The New Tag Heuer Formula 1 43mm Chronograph
The three new timepieces from TAG Heuer feature updated design codes that show the brand's more bold and youthful side. With the daring use of contrasting colours, as well as the subtle and unique attention to detail for each piece, TAG Heuer has created three watches that are sure to make an impact.
Each watch features a 43mm case of fine-brushed stainless steel with pushbuttons at 2 and 4 o'clock. They have durable black PVD steel fixed tachymeter-scale bezels with positive numerals. The screw-down case back features a checkered flag symbol, drawing reference to the flag waved when a driver has completed a race.
Inside the case is a bright sunray brushed dial with three 'azurage' chronograph sub-counters, which add texture and depth to the dial. An angled date window is positioned at 4 o'clock, and the hands and indexes are painted in white Super-LumiNova® to ensure outstanding legibility, even when driving at high speeds.
Each TAG Heuer Formula 1 watch comes with a robust, textured rubber strap that guarantees the timepieces are performance-ready and ties in with the overall hue of the watch, giving a seamlessly coordinated aesthetic.
The Three Colours of the New Tag Heuer Formula 1 Watches
Tag Heuer showcases their brilliant ability to pay attention to minor details. Each of the new coloured watches is made to be unique and offer slightly different details. For example, on the green edition, the indexes and hands are black with white Super- LumiNova®, the central hand is lacquered white, and the chronograph sub-counters are circled in red.
On the yellow edition, the indexes are black with white Super- LumiNova®, the hours and minutes hands are black, and the central hand is lacquered red.
Finally, for the red edition, the indexes are rhodium-plated with white Super- LumiNova®, the central hand is lacquered white, and the chronograph sub-counters are circles in white.
These three new chronographs fit perfectly into the TAG Heuer Formula 1 collection. Together they form a bright and vibrant selection of sports watches that any motorsport enthusiast will love and appreciate.
However, they aren't just for Formula 1 fans; these timepieces effortlessly display TAG Heuer's passion for youthful, modern yet sophisticated and aesthetically pleasing watches that display their innovative technology and superior design. We undoubtedly give these new pieces a green for go.
