TAG Heuer Formula 1 Second-ever Special Edition Timepiece Replica With Aston Martin Red Bull
TAG Heuer just revealed its second-ever special edition watch to commemorate the watchmaker's ongoing partnership with the Aston Martin Red Bull Racing team. Motorsport and horology are old friends. Brands like TAG Heuer have been solidifying their spot in racing lore over the years, even going so far as to create the 'Monaco', after the famous grand prix. The companies have been working together for four years and this TAG Heuer Formula 1 43mm chronograph fake CAZ101AB.BA0842 has been crafted to reflect their shared aesthetics.
The blue of the watch's dial and aluminium fixed bezel matches that found on the car. On the sunray blue dial we see a simple outer minute ring, with applied hour markers that vary in length depending upon their intersection with other dial elements. At the 4 o'clock position is an angled date window; at 2:30, a running seconds counter; at 9:30 a 30-minute counter; and at 6 o'clock an enlarged subdial for both a 1/10th-second counter and a 10-hour counter. Each of these subdials are black and use red accents. Toward the top of the dial is the modern TAG Heuer green-and-red logo, while sweeping over it are two Super-LumiNova filled hands for the hours and minutes and a simple yellow pointer for the chronograph seconds.
The TAG Heuer Formula 1 Aston Martin Red Bull Racing Special Edition 2020 replica's other complications include minutes and 1/10th seconds subdials, a permanent second indicator, and a central chronograph seconds hand. Much like the car it is inspired by, function takes precedence for this timepiece with the watch water-resistant to 200 metres and impressively shock resistant, enduring more than 60 quality control tests. Here’s hoping when the lights go out in Melbourne, the Aston Martin Red Bull Racing team makes as good time as this new watch.
