Since its 2025 revival, TAG Heuer’s Formula 1 Solargraph has been the brand’s feel-good hit, and TAG definitely knows it. The brand has been running through colorways. But it seems strange then that the most obvious one of all took this long to surface. TAG Heuer has had its shield on the side of the Red Bull car since 2016, and to celebrate 10 years together, the pairing is finally official with the TAG Heuer Formula 1 Solargraph x Oracle Red Bull Racing.
Ten Years on the Side of the Car
When TAG Heuer first signed on with Red Bull Racing back in 2016, Max Verstappen was a teenager who had just scored his first career win. Four world championships later, the partnership has aged better than most marriages in the paddock.
TAG has honored the team on the wrist before, but it’s mostly been through Formula 1 chronographs wearing similar shades of blue. But putting the livery on the Solargraph, the 38mm watch that’s basically brought the entire Formula 1 line back into relevance, feels like the version this collab was always building toward.
Wearing the Livery, Not the Logo
The sandblasted steel case carries a blue TH-Polylight bezel over a blue sunray dial, ringed by a bright red minute track. A yellow central seconds hand and matching frame around the date window complete the Red Bull trifecta. There’s also a set of applied indices and black lacquered hands that glow green after dark courtesy of white Super-LumiNova.
Interestingly enough, there isn’t a Red Bull logo anywhere on the dial (and it’s a detail we appreciate). The team branding lives entirely on the solid steel caseback, where both logos sit over a checkered flag engraving.
The Solar Half of the Story
Inside beats TAG’s Calibre TH50-00 Swiss solar quartz movement. One minute of direct sunlight buys a full day of running, while a complete charge takes roughly 40 hours of light exposure. And once you’re fully charged up, the watch will tick away for 10 months in a dark drawer.
TAG rates the accumulator for up to 15 years, and 100 meters of water resistance means it can handle more than just champagne spray.
