If you've ever hesitated over a nice watch because you didn't want "one more battery to remember," TAG Heuer just removed that excuse. The brand has unveiled the Formula 1 Solargraph x Oracle Red Bull Racing, a special edition celebrating ten years of TAG Heuer's partnership with the Formula 1 team — and the headline feature isn't the racing pedigree, it's what's ticking inside.
The watch runs on TAG Heuer's TH50-00 Solargraph movement, which converts ordinary light — sunlight, room light, even a desk lamp — into power. A full charge is rated to run the watch for up to ten months in total darkness, and TAG Heuer says even brief exposure to light can top it back up for a full day. For anyone who's ever found a favourite quartz watch dead in a drawer, this is the kind of practical innovation that actually matters day to day.
Design-wise, it leans hard into the Red Bull Racing identity: a 38mm steel case, a striking blue sunray dial with a red flange, a yellow central seconds hand, and a blue TH-Polylight bezel that nods to the team's livery. The caseback carries the Oracle Red Bull Racing logo over a chequered-flag motif, so it wears its motorsport credentials without being shouty about it on the dial side.
Key specs
- 38mm sandblasted steel case, 100m water resistance
- Blue sunray-brushed dial with red flange and yellow central seconds hand
- Blue TH-Polylight bidirectional bezel, 60-minute scale
- Steel three-row bracelet with folding clasp and double safety push-buttons
- TH50-00 Solargraph movement — solar-charged, up to 10 months' power reserve in total darkness
At $3,050SGD, this sits right in the sweet spot for someone who wants an authentic TAG Heuer with genuine motorsport provenance, without stretching into five-figure territory. It's also a great example of how "smart" features — in this case, smart energy management rather than a smartwatch screen — are quietly becoming a bigger part of what makes a modern watch desirable.
