Return of TAG Heuer's Iconic F1 Watch, Infused with '80s Nostalgia and Solar Technology
TAG Heuer Unveils the Formula 1 Solargraph Collection
TAG Heuer has announced the launch of its new Formula 1 Solargraph collection, a line of solar-powered watches that blend performance, precision, and sporty style with eco-friendliness. The collection is powered by TAG Heuer's proprietary caliber TH50-00 Solargraph movement, which harnesses light to charge a power cell that can run for up to 10 months on a full charge.
The collection comprises nine references, with three references set to become part of the permanent lineup and six limited editions. The limited editions are tied to specific Formula 1 races, with standouts including a green-bezeled version for Silverstone, a black DLC-coated case with yellow accents for Mexico, and a blue TH-Polylight case for Singapore.
The new Formula 1 Solargraph collection retains the distinctive case shape of the original but grows to a 38mm diameter (from 35mm). The collection features plastic bezels made from TH-Polylight, and most models have sandblasted stainless steel cases with improved finishing. The dials of the new collection maintain a clear lineage to the '80s versions but add applied indexes and refined handsets for improved legibility.
Opaline dials with shield-shaped hour markers treated with Super-LumiNova ensure high legibility. Strap options include embossed rubber or redesigned steel bracelets, providing versatility and comfort. The collection offers a variety of color combinations, including black, white, red, yellow, green, and blue.
Notable special editions and their launch dates are:
- Miami GP edition (WBY1114.FT8084): Black DLC-coated case with red accents, launched May 2, 2025.
- Silverstone GP edition (WBY1113.BA0042): Bold green accents, launched July 4, 2025.
- Monza GP edition (WBY1160.FT8085): Unique race-inspired colors, launched September 5, 2025.
Pricing for each reference is not detailed explicitly, but given the Formula 1 Solargraph's positioning as colorful, fun, affordable sports watches within TAG Heuer's lineup, the pricing is expected to be competitive relative to other Formula 1 models. For precise pricing, contacting authorized dealers or official TAG Heuer boutiques is recommended.
The Formula 1 Solargraph collection is set to launch in phases throughout the 2025 Formula 1 season, with the first models available starting April 2025.
