TAG Heuer Marks a Decade of Partnership with Oracle Red Bull Racing
Swiss luxury watchmaker TAG Heuer has officially launched a special-edition timepiece, the Formula 1 Solargraph x Oracle Red Bull Racing, honoring its 10-year collaboration with the Milton Keynes-based racing outfit. The watch is priced at £1,900 (approximately $2,250). United States-based buyers were granted early online access on October 20, strategically timed ahead of the upcoming United States Grand Prix in Austin, Texas.
TAG Heuer first joined forces with the Red Bull F1 team in 2016, operating concurrently as its official timekeeper, official watch, and team performance partner. Over the last ten seasons, the alliance has seen world championship triumphs and numerous race victories, forming one of the most prominent commercial and technical alignments on the modern Grand Prix grid.
Design and Technical Specifications of the Formula 1 Solargraph
The new commemorative model draws direct visual inspiration from Oracle Red Bull Racing’s distinctive aesthetic. Encased in a compact 38 mm body, the timepiece features a deep blue sunray-brushed dial accompanied by white hour and minute hands, contrasted with an energetic yellow seconds hand. The dial is framed by a blue bidirectional rotating bezel constructed from TH-Polylight, a proprietary lightweight material developed by TAG Heuer.
At the heart of the timepiece is TAG Heuer’s Solargraph movement, utilizing solar-charging technology that harnesses ambient light to ensure long-term, reliable timekeeping on and off the racetrack.

Reflecting on the milestone collaboration, TAG Heuer CEO Béatrice Goasglas highlighted the shared values between the horological brand and the racing team:
“Ten years ago, TAG Heuer and Oracle Red Bull Racing came together around a simple conviction: every fraction of a second matters. Since then, we have shared podiums, titles and the same relentless drive to win,” TAG Heuer CEO Béatrice Goasglas said.
“This special edition celebrates that journey while looking firmly ahead. With its 38 mm case and Solargraph movement, it brings the energy of the grid to a new generation of watch enthusiasts, for whom racing is as much a culture as a sport. It is everything ‘Designed to Win’ stands for.”

Why This Matters: Track Momentum and Commercial Timing

Despite the championship deficit, the squad brings strong on-track form, boosted by consecutive victories achieved by Max Verstappen at both the Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia and the Singapore Grand Prix. In the individual drivers’ standings, Verstappen currently occupies fourth position with 221 points, while his Oracle Red Bull Racing teammate Isack Hadjar ranks eighth with 97 points.
