TAG Heuer has introduced two special series Formula 1, Red Bull racing team watches, and they are on display at Bahrain Jewellery Centre at City Centre Bahrain, just in time for the racing weekend.
Of course, the steel chronograph bears the team’s colours, midnight blue and red, an alliance which naturally alludes to the racing mindset.
Adorned with a bezel sporting a tachymetre scale in matte blue aluminium, this piece reflects the DNA of the brand’s Formula 1 collection perfectly, in my opinion.
The watch is available in two versions, one of which has a steel bracelet in keeping with its flagship models. So what is new? This model is also available with a strap made from technical textile for a sportier look, with red stitching inspired by the seat belts of the racing cars.
The quartz chronograph movement is accurate to a 10th of a second – an indispensable feature in a motor racing watch – and is displayed on the small counter at six o’clock, with the minute counter at nine o’clock and the current seconds counter at three o’clock.
The hands are red, matching the team colours and help complement the white counters and deep blue case back perfectly.
The back of the case is engraved with the legendary black and white chequered flag, symbol of Formula 1, as well as the exclusive Red Bull Racing Team logo.
