In November 2021 to mark the Mexico City Grand Prix, TAG Heuer released Special Edition of its iconic TAG Heuer Carrera tourbillon chronograph and produced a unique version especially with Mexican F1 pilot Sergio Pérez, the TAG Heuer Carrera Tourbillon Sergio Perez Edition, of which only two pieces were produced.
One is the driver’s personal watch and the second was auctioned to support the Checo Pérez Foundation. The bold and sophisticated 45-mm timepiece is made of high-performance and lightweight Grade 2 titanium, coated with DLC (diamond-like carbon), with a ceramic bezel for a full matte black aesthetic with elegant and subtle rose gold accents, a contemporary tribute to the famed racing chronograph designed by Jack Heuer in 1963.
Powered by the tourbillon manufacture movement Heuer 02T, this unique interpretation of the TAG Heuer Carrera showcases the brand’s most advanced watchmaking techniques, signature design codes and expert craftmanship.
The custom-made TAG Heuer Carrera Tourbillon Sergio Perez Edition sports a special “SP” marking on the dial as well as his motto “Never Give Up” engraved on the case back. Symbolically the sapphire crystal case back also features the date of the 2021 Mexican Grand Prix, Pérez’s home race, on 07.11.21, where he achieved a podium finish.
TAG Heuer is the Official Watch of the Monaco Grand Prix and in 2022, Sergio “Checo” Pérez won the 79th Monaco Grand Prix for the first time with this personalized edition of the TAG Heuer Carrera on his wrist.
To mark the legendary Monaco Grand Prix, TAG Heuer releases a new Special Edition of its iconic timepiece which bears the same name as the prestigious F1 race. This new special edition of the Monaco chronograph is inspired by a legendary Monaco of the 1970s and constructed of DLC-coated titanium.
From its introduction in 1969, the TAG Heuer Monaco chronograph has challenged every aspect of watchmaking with its fearless innovation. In an era when there were only hand-wound chronographs, the Monaco was one of the first automatic chronographs.
Rather than the traditional black or white used for dials, the Monaco was painted a brilliant blue, which is made even bolder by the bright white registers and red accents. But the most radical innovation was the Monaco’s shape. Going against a tradition of virtually all chronographs being round, the Monaco was square, and the first to be housed in a waterproof case.
From the moment of its introduction in 1969, the Monaco would reflect the cutting edge of contemporary design. From the midnight blue and bright white of the late 1960s to the contrasting grey tones used in the early 1970s, the Monaco reflected popular culture while advancing the limits of design.
It was natural then that in the late 1970s the Monaco chronograph would introduce an entirely different look, including the matte black case and dial of the legendary “Dark Lord”, with bright orange and white accents, optimising the usefulness of the chronograph as a tactical instrument for the racer.
Now, over 50 years after the introduction of the Monaco, TAG Heuer is releasing a special edition of the legendary watch. The newest Monaco incorporates today’s most innovative materials and engineering to offer enthusiasts the ultimate version of what the original Monaco “Dark Lord” might have been.
The case of the latest addition to the Monaco line-up is executed in Grade 2 titanium, coated with DLC (diamond-like carbon). Titanium is a high-performance material, offering a unique combination of strength and light weight, while remaining free of corrosion.
TAG Heuer used titanium for the construction of only one previous Monaco chronograph, the Titan model offered as a Limited Edition in 2021 and worn by Max Verstappen during his 2021 Formula 1 World Championship campaign.
This year’s special edition marks the first use of black-coated titanium for a Monaco chronograph. The DLC coating provides deep, rich colour that will stand up to its intended use as the racer’s tool, with the case sandblasted to produce a grained finish. Advances in coatings now allow the durable black coating to be used not only on the case, but also on the crown, pushers and caseback.
The dial offers a radically new celebration of the Monaco’s “circle in the square” geometry, being constructed of two separate pieces, with contrasting finishes. The circle at the centre of the dial has a satin-brushed circular finish, reflecting the speed and smoothness of racing. The exterior of the dial offers a dramatic contrast, being sandblasted to create a grained finish.
This grained finish reflects the grip of the tyres and track, offering the perfect run-off to transition from the dial to the case. The chronograph registers have a black opalin finish, offering the perfect backdrop for the deep red chronograph hour and minute hands. The rose gold used for the hands and markers provides another update of the Monaco chronographs of the 1970s.
While the hue of the luminous pain used for the markers and hands of the original Monaco “Dark Lord” would change over the years, the gold accents of the newest Monaco will shine for eternity. The deep black of the dial is complemented by the gold of the markers and hour and minute hands. The hands are also treated with Super- LumiNova® which ensures optimum legibility in any conditions, day or night.
Beyond its luxurious appearance, the gold elements of this piece create a glorious bridge to Heuer’s unique racing legacy of the 1970s, reminding us of the gold Carrera chronographs that Jack Heuer presented to leading professional racers and friends of the Heuer brand. The gold offers a stunning contrast to the matte black of the dial, reminding today’s enthusiasts that the Formula 1 champions of the 1970s wore their gold Heuer chronographs on the track.
The in-house Heuer 02 movement that powers the newest Monaco provides another remarkable contrast to the movements that powered the original Monaco chronographs of the 1970s.
Utilising a traditional column wheel to actuate the chronograph and offering an 80-hour power reserve, the beautiful finishing of the Heuer 02 is topped with a rose gold-plated oscillating mass and proudly displayed through the sapphire caseback.
The Monaco is mounted on a black alligator leather strap that is fitted with a black-coated titanium buckle. TAG Heuer will present it in packaging that evokes the racing heritage of the Monaco collection.
This new watch is available in TAG Heuer boutiques and on http://www.tagheuer.com from 27 May 2022.

To pay tribute to Ayrton’s legacy, TAG Heuer continues its quest to create the perfect Formula 1 watch, the one the legendary driver would have loved to wear on his wrist. With its bold design and its nods to Ayrton’s original watch, the TAG Heuer Formula 1 Senna Special Edition perfectly illustrates TAG Heuer’s continued admiration of the illustrious driver and celebrates his lasting influence on the sport.
For this new edition, the designers of TAG Heuer – in collaboration with the Senna Brand – wanted to work specifically with the colour red, a reference to Ayrton Senna’s original watch, which also has touches of red tint in the dial. The whole look of the TAG Heuer Senna Special Edition is a very elegant mix of red, anthracite and black, in line with the design codes the brand SENNA’s iconic S.
The red lacquer is present in the 2 o’clock pusher, in the crown and at 12 o’clock in the double S, which is the Brazilian driver’s iconic logo brand. Likewise, the subdials are adorned with red touches, and the sporty and elegant design of the model is further accentuated thanks to the azure finishing and the 6 o’clock subdial customised with the Senna logo in red.
The watch has a beautiful sunray-brushed anthracite dial with black “azurage” minute, hour and permanent second chronograph counters, bringing to the dial a bright and luminous effect highlighted with vibrant red touches.
The white Super- LumiNova® on the rhodium-plated applied indexes and hands ensures at-a-glance legibility at all speeds and in all lighting conditions. The timepiece also features an ultra-resistant black ceramic bezel, with the number 400 engraved as a reference to the symbolic 400 km/h speed that has never been reached in Formula 1.
This contemporary reissued edition is also inspired by the first TAG Heuer chronograph watch worn by Ayrton Senna and its famous S/EL bracelet. Highly shock-resistant, the bracelet has a folding clasp with a driver extension to fit over the sleeve of a racing suit.
The TAG Heuer Formula 1 Senna Special Edition timepiece is equipped with the automatic Calibre 16, which is protected by a stainless-steel screw-down caseback engraved with the Brazilian driver’s iconic helmet on the back and alongside a special engraving of “SENNA SPECIAL EDITION”.

TAG Heuer has released a new edition of its iconic Monaco made with the partner Gulf. The co-creation wears the legendary colours and design of the Gulf brand and is equipped with the in-house movement Heuer 02 – a premiere for the Monaco Gulf edition.
The Monaco Gulf’s story begins with the passion for top-tier of motorsport. The Gulf brand became iconic in the world of racing thanks to its defining livery of vibrant blue and vivid orange which adorned the teams that it sponsored. In the golden era of racing spanning the 1960s and 1970s their main partner would be JW Automotive Engineering, a name that has left an indelible mark on the history of endurance racing.
JW Automotive Engineering is perhaps most clearly remembered for its involvement in the 24 Hours of Le Mans with overall wins in 1968, 1969 and 1975. In addition the team field entries in 1970 and 1971 with some of the most celebrated drivers of the era, including the famed Swiss pilot Jo Siffert, aboard the technical tour de force that was the Porsche 917.
At this time, Siffert was a friend of Heuer, one of the first ambassadors as we know them today, and also the driving coach of Steve McQueen for his movie Le Mans. This is how the connection with Gulf, TAG Heuer and Porsche first came life: the Porsche 917 in the signature colours of Gulf and Jo Siffert at the wheel that would lead to the association with Steve McQueen who drove the same car in the mythical movie, wearing the Monaco on his wrist. When all of these elements are seen together it is clear why this partnership is one of legends, elevating the Monaco even further in its iconic status.
In 2007, in honor of this defining association, TAG Heuer decided to create a Monaco edition using the Gulf colors and since then, each timepiece from this special collection was a great success and highly collectible.
For the 2022 edition, TAG Heuer strikes once again with an even more stunning version of the Monaco Gulf Edition. More refined, with a beautiful design and the in-house Heuer 02 movement that is housed in the fine brushed and polished steel case, the TAG Heuer Monaco Gulf Special Edition is a true eye-catcher.
Of course, the design continues to be based on the three iconic colors of Gulf but this time in more contemporary colour combinations: the special dark blue, turquoise, and orange. With these new elements and a little twist, this new TAG Heuer Monaco Gulf version becomes all the more unique and features more refined Gulf touches.
Focusing on the watch’s dial, the sleek Gulf touches are mixed with the refined aesthetic of the Monaco. The Gulf accents have also been featured in an elegant way and for the first time, the three colors are present on the minute sub-counters at 3 o’clock, too. Also a premiere in the Monaco Gulf watch editions, the Gulf logo on the dial is totally white.
To emphasize the elegance of the watch, the opaline sunray brushed dial brings to the watch an interesting aesthetic duality. And last but not least, the 12 o’clock index is replaced by the number “60” – polished and rhodium plated – as a nod to the racing number on the Porsche Gulf racing cars.
On the back of the TAG Heuer Monaco Gulf Special Edition, the TAG Heuer designers worked on a personalised version of the oscillating mass and column wheel with a special engraving coloured to match the Gulf orange pantone.
To complete the sporty but sophisticated look of the watch, the strap is made with of perforated blue calfskin leather and an orange lining. Although the strap has the typical perforation made especially for the Monaco Gulf editions, the holes now have different sizes, a reflection of the design originally fitted to Monaco models in the 1970s, bring a touch of the past to this Special Edition timepiece.
The TAG Heuer Monaco Gulf Special Edition watch comes with a new packaging featuring a box and a special travel pouch, also using the refreshed Gulf colours. This timepiece will be available starting from May 2022 and sold worldwide in the TAG Heuer boutiques and on the e-commerce website of the brand.

During Watches & Wonders 2022 exhibition in Geneva, TAG Heuer unveiled its new Aquaracer Professional 1000 Superdiver watch.
The new professional grade diving model represents an important milestone for TAG Heuer, as it is the first timepiece from the brand utilising calibre TH30-00 produced by Kenissi Manufacture SA, one of the most highly regarded movement manufacturers in the world. The new calibre is manufactured exclusively for TAG Heuer and begins an important chapter for the history of the brand that will see significant improvements in terms of reliability and durability.
As the ultimate timepiece and dive watch, the Aquaracer Professional 1000 Superdiver displays TAG Heuer’s expertise in the field, a savoir faire that dates back over 40 years. The latest addition to the company’s lineage of ultra-water-resistant watches, the Superdiver picks up the mantle from such greats as the Heuer 1000m Diver and the Super Professional.
Launched in 1982, the 1000m Diver was a pioneer ahead of its time. With a larger 41.5 mm case and crown positioned at 4 o’clock to improve ergonomics, it was a strong entry from TAG Heuer into the world of professional dive watches, finding use with prestigious organisations, such as La Spirotechnique, the company founded by Jacques-Yves Cousteau.
The 1000m Diver was joined by the Super Professional in 1984, a watch that has become an icon among TAG Heuer dive watches. Designed specifically for professional divers, it featured a substantial matte-finished case and pronounced teeth on the bezel to make setting easier when wearing dive equipment. It was also fitted to a bracelet with an extension link to wear over a wet suit. Provided in a kit with an additional rubber strap and decompression tables, it was clearly intended for those doing the most demanding work below the waves.
With its 45 mm case, the TAG Heuer Aquaracer Professional 1000 Superdiver is made to resist the greatest underwater depths. The watch is extremely robust and sports a bold, but elegant, look and a thickness of just 15.75 mm, enabling the watch to resist the extreme pressure of the deep while continuing to be one of the slimmest in the deep dive watch category.
The designers have ensured optimal legibility for this maritime timepiece. The indicator for the hour is in the form of an arrow and is more imposing than in the classic Aquaracer Professional 300, with the aim of increasing underwater visibility thanks to its sizeable area for Super-LumiNova®.
The minute and second hands are orange in colour highlight the most useful hands for diving purposes. Indeed, it is no coincidence that the colour orange dominates the TAG Heuer Aquaracer Superdiver 1000. It is the very colour of maritime safety and opposes the blue of the ocean on the colour wheel, meaning it can be quickly spotted at sea.
On the dial, the horizontal striped design that already features in the Aquaracer Professional 300 collection has also been included on this watch. For the Superdiver version, the lines are set further apart, again to improve visibility.
On the ceramic bezel, the first quarter is orange, highlighting the portion most often used for timing decompression stops, which is a key technical detail used extensively by divers when taking part in deep-water exercises. The bezel is forged with black ceramic and a unique composite made of a hybrid material incorporating ceramic with an orange colour specifically developed for TAG Heuer.
The TAG Heuer Aquaracer Superdiver 1000 uses the highest grade of Super-LumiNova®, SLN Grade X1, which is extremely powerful and bright and allows for optimal legibility in the dark.
The date cyclops has been removed for technical reasons, as the technology for mounting under the sapphire crystal has become difficult to maintain at such depths. Yet, the move is beneficial to the design, as it provides the watch a cleaner aesthetic.
In the constant move toward greater durability and safety, TAG Heuer has also added a more substantial crown protector than is usually found on dive watches. The main role of the guard is to ensure the safe screwing and unscrewing of the crown and, as a result, protect the movement from any risk of water ingress.
The orange seal around the crown tube is a detail that not only recalls the orange running throughout the watch design, but also provides an important visual indicator that the screw-down crown is properly fixed. This visual detail has been passed down from the TAG Heuer Aquagraph, which integrated the system in 2003. Finally, the crown is coated in black DLC to provide a high contrast to the case and the touches of orange that bring the watch to life.
In addition to the ultra-visibility of this high-performing timepiece, the TAG Heuer teams have also worked on improving the ergonomics, notably by incorporating deeper recesses in the bezel to allow for better grip and to facilitate turning. Extensive work has also been carried out on the sound and sensory aspects of handling the bezel, which was initiated last year with the creation of the Aquaracer Professional 300 collection.
The TAG Heuer Aquaracer Professional 1000 Superdiver is made entirely from grade 5 titanium, an exceptional material allowing for a finish that is very similar to steel while offering outstanding ergonomics due to its reduced weight. In an exception to the rule, the caseback of the watch is made of steel to keep a good balance and reasonable weight for a professional instrument. It includes the iconic diving helmet motif, which is engraved on all watches in the Aquaracer collection and has been one of the enduring markers of the timepiece for almost 20 years.
A helium valve has been inserted into the dive watch to enable the gas to escape and damage to be avoided. The helium valve takes a rectangular form on the TAG Heuer Aquaracer Professional 1000 Superdiver and is finished in a black DLC coating, in harmony with the black-finished crown. It is also engraved with the letters “He”, which stand for helium in the periodic table.
The TAG Heuer Aquaracer Professional 1000 Superdiver also meets the most demanding of diving standards. On top of the classic accreditations, the timepiece has received ISO 6425:2018 certification for saturation divers’ watches. ISO 6425:2018 has two levels of certification: a certification for dive watches, which few watches on the market can match, and a certification for saturation diving, which is even more difficult to obtain and is also extremely rare among dive watches.
The TAG Heuer Aquaracer Professional 1000 Superdiver also represents another debut for the company in the form of the calibre TH30-00. A new manufacture movement certified COSC (Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronomètres) and produced to TAG Heuer’s exacting specifications by Kenissi Manufacture SA. It has a power reserve of 70 hours.
Kenissi is a Swiss Manufacture for high-performance mechanical movements, founded in 2016 and based at Le Locle. The company produces movements renowned for their durability and quality which are best in class in the Swiss watch industry, with standards that exceed expectations.
The TAG Heuer Aquaracer Professional 1000 Superdiver will benefit from an extended international warranty up to five years.
The TAG Heuer Aquaracer Professional 1000 Superdiver comes with a custom protective case, which is as resistant as the watch, and includes a rescue dive torch. This highly technical, waterproof and crash-proof case features orange details to remain in perfect harmony with the timepiece it accompanies.

After a highly successful first year of collaboration, TAG Heuer and Porsche are celebrating its partnership by creating a bold and decidedly sporty chronograph.
The new TAG Heuer Carrera x Porsche Limited Edition was unveiled during Watches & Wonders 2022 event in Geneva. This new timepiece is based on the emblematic TAG Heuer Carrera Sport Chronograph with an exceptional performance thanks to its in house Calibre Heuer 02.
A movement manufactured entirely at the TAG Heuer factory in Chevenez, consisting of 168 parts including a column wheel and a vertical clutch. These features allow for an exceptional chronometric performance, such as its impressive power reserve of 80 hours.
In terms of design, the sportiness of the TAG Heuer Carrera Sport Chronograph is further enhanced by Porsche’s aesthetic appeal. The yellow colour is incorporated in various elements of this creation, which is inspired by Porsche‘s racing yellow PANTONE, reserved by the manufacturer for the sportiest of its vehicles.
It can be seen in the Porsche logo on the bezel, as well as on the lacquer in the crown and in the graphic details present in small touches on the dial and on the second hand. The yellow colour is also present in the luminescence of the Super-LumiNova®, which lights yellow in the dark.
Another key colour in this limited edition is black, which elegantly reinforces the brightness of the yellow with a contrasting effect. To bring a touch of sporty sophistication to this timepiece, TAG Heuer and Porsche designers have used the black colour together with various textures.
The case has been given the highest-quality black treatment possible – diamond-like carbon (DLC), with its extremely elegant deep colour and unfailing resistance. The black dial has a texture inspired by the metallic bodywork of cars with a slightly glittery effect.
Finally, the two black asphalt-effect sub-dials were used on the dial of the previous watch TAG Heuer Carrera x Porsche Chronograph created in 2021 for the official launch of the partnership between TAG Heuer and Porsche.
Another legacy from the 2021 version, the redesigned oscillating mass in homage to the famous Porsche steering wheel is clearly visible through the Sapphire glass case back marked with “Porsche” and “TAG Heuer” with black and yellow colour touches bringing a perfect harmony to the design of the watch.
Finally, the textile inspired leather strap with double stitching inspired by the seat upholstery of Porsche cars and developed for the previous version, returns in an even more spectacular incarnation. For this limited edition, the yellow stitching and lining provides a dramatic contrast with the black leather, and even more strikingly, the leather itself has been treated to produce a technical fabric effect.
Produced as a limited edition, the TAG Heuer Carrera x Porsche Limited Edition is engraved with the mention One of 1500 and comes in a custom-made box in the colours of the edition.
The TAG Heuer Carrera x Porsche Limited Edition will be available as of April 2022 and will primarily be sold via selected specialized watch retailers and at TAG Heuer stores.

TAG Heuer is expanding its TAG Heuer Aquaracer Professional 300 core collection with a new watch with a vibrant look that is inspired by the orange diver reference 844, a favorite among collectors.
In terms of design, TAG Heuer Aquaracer Orange Diver has a fine brushed and polished 43mm case in stainless steel with a distinctive orange dial and white tip on the seconds hand. This new piece is made following the same design codes as the Aquaracer Professional 300 range.
The Aquaracer Professional 300 Orange Diver owns the historical collection’s six features. The watch offers a 12-sided unidirectional rotating bezel with a scratch-resistant black ceramic ring, shaped to offer the perfect grip, the crown is protected to avoid any accidental damage and the model is water- resistant to 300 meters.
The watch keeps its highly ergonomic aspect with the rotating mechanism of the bezel that is easy and smooth and the sapphire glass integrating a magnifier over the date at 6 o’clock into the underside of the glass so that the exterior surface remains smooth.
The indexes and hands have been coated with white Super-LumiNova® to contrast with the color of the dial.
This new reference also integrates the Aquaracer Professional 300’s sophisticated fine adjustment system on the strap that can adjust the bracelet length by up to 1.5 cm. This enables any wearers to resize the bracelet so the watch can be worn on any occasion and under a variety of climatic conditions.
The new Orange Diver is powered by TAG Heuer’s Calibre 5, a reliable Swiss Made automatic movement with 38 hours power reserve and quick set date.

TAG Heuer has launched its new Aquaracer Professional 200 Solargraph, the brand’s first ever solar-powered watch.
Unveiled at Watches & Wonders 2022 in Geneva, it is the first TAG Heuer timepiece utilising calibre TH50-00 produced by La Joux-Perret, using the renowned and proven “Eco-Drive” solar dial technology for the first time in Switzerland.
The Aquaracer Professional 200 Solargraph features a 40mm diameter steel case with black DLC coating and bezel inserts made of a blend of carbon and green Super-LumiNova®.
The particular dial of the timepiece is partially transparent, allowing the movement to be charged by sunrays, and the specific blue green color gives off an intense and unique shade reminiscent of the incredible colors of the aurora borealis that light up the nights above the Artic Circles.
The bezel, dial and hands employ Super-LumiNova® allowing the watch to feature outstanding legibility at nightfall.
With the Solargraph movement, no need to change the battery of the watch, it recharges with the sun or artificial light. The movement needs only two minutes in full sunlight to keep the watch running for a whole day. When fully charged – after less than 20 hours under the sun, the watch can run for six months. If the timepiece stops working, you just need to expose it again to light for ten seconds to make it work again, thanks to its ultra-efficient recharge time.
The autonomy of the watch can even be extended to 3.5 years when the Power Save mode is activated. The user can turn on very easily the Power Save mode just by pulling the crown of the watch.
To develop this reliable and very efficient solar movement, TAG Heuer has teamed up with the Manufacture of La Joux-Perret based in La Chaux-de-Fonds, using the renowned and proven “Eco-Drive” solar dial technology for the first time in Switzerland. Caliber TH50-00 is developed and produced exclusively for TAG Heuer.
The TAG Heuer Aquaracer Professional 200 Solargraph will benefit from an extended international warranty up to five years.
A black rubber strap gives the watch a sporty look by keeping in line with the athletic positioning of the Aquaracer Professional collection.
The TAG Heuer Aquaracer Professional 200 Solargraph will be sold worldwide in the brand’s boutiques and on TAG Heuer’s e-commerce site starting October 2022.

During Watches and Wonders 2022 exhibition in Geneva, TAG Heuer introduced the new Carrera Plasma, featuring lab-grown diamonds.
The TAG Heuer Carrera Plasma, powered by the H02 Tourbillon Nanograph movement, has Diamant d’Avant- Garde lab-grown diamonds set in the case, and features embellished indexes.
The lab-grown diamonds used in the TAG Heuer Carrera Plasma are manufactured by a network of partners such as Lusix, Capsoul and Diamaze.
The 44 mm watchcase of the TAG Heuer Carrera Plasma is predominantly made of sandblasted anodized aluminum, which results in a perfect complement to the lightness and color of the material and the strength and purity of the diamond. TAG Heuer’s designers have additionally developed a black ceramic polished bezel bringing even more emphasis to the elegance and contrast patterns of the timepiece.
To push the avant-garde even further, the Swiss luxury watch manufacturer has joined forces with Capsoul – a start-up pioneering the field of diamond design – to craft a spectacular crown at 3 o’clock, entirely executed in diamond. The two pushers on each side of the crown have been embellished with a black DLC coating, which brings to the watch a refined matt touch, contrasting with the brightness of the diamond.
The special polycrystalline diamond dial is one of the highlights of this new TAG Heuer Carrera Plasma timepiece. This diamond effect on the specially created dial plate is a sum of crystals being grown as one.
This represents another type of a rich CVD growth, where many diamonds create spectacular reflections and a diverse visual effect while still constituting a single diamond piece. At 3 o’clock and 9 o’clock, the minute chronograph counter and the chronograph hours counter feature a black polycrystalline diamond plate and are equipped with a polished rhodium-plated hand to truly support the light interaction.
The 11 indexes in white gold are set with a diamond each and sport a double index at 12 o’clock. The polished, rhodium-plated hour and minute hands with matt black lacquer are topped with white Super-LumiNova® and showcase a rhodium-plated central hand. The TAG Heuer logo with “Carrera” printed in black rounds up this sparkling dial, which is designed in perfect harmony with the rhodium-plated bezel.
The movement inside this watch is also a real masterpiece. The impressive TAG Heuer Nanograph calibre carries the groundbreaking in-house carbon hairspring, developed by the TAG Heuer Institute and brought to life by the same CVD method as the lab-grown diamonds.
The carbon hairspring delivers exceptional levels of anti-magnetism, shock resistance, stability across temperature ranges and refined geometry for excellent chronometric performance. This also represents a truly magical way of mastering the carbon material in and outside the timepiece, as well as a full and fusional integration of carbon throughout the watch and with the innovative lab-grown diamonds.
The movement is TAG Heuer’s in-house Heuer 02 automatic chronograph, a Swiss-made movement with a 65-hour power reserve in a unique version especially developed for the TAG Heuer Carrera Plasma. This special edition has been extensively hand-finished and features the oscillating weight in the form of the TAG Heuer shield.
The TAG Heuer Carrera Plasma comes with an elegant black leather strap with black stitching and a black titanium grade 2 ADLC-treated clasp for an even bolder look.

To celebrate its partnership with Red Bull Racing, TAG Heuer has released a brand-new version of the Formula 1 Red Bull Racing Special Edition. Thanks to its bolder design and advanced technical features, the timepiece is perfectly crafted for fans of Formula 1 and Red Bull Racing.
For this new version, the designers highlighted the bold colours of the Red Bull Racing Team, such as the mythical dark blue and striking red tones. The new blue sun-brushed dial with a customized minuterie featuring vibrant yellow and red touches is the perfect example of this. The 1/10th second chronograph counter at 6 o’clock has also yellow and red details and the chronograph central second hand is highlighted in yellow.
The Arabic numeral indexes are directly inspired by racing car speedometers. The Formula 1 connoisseurs will also notice the subtle reference to their favourite sport in the form of a line above the 5 and 7 numerals, evoking the starting line of racing track. The new dial is also inspired by F1 car cockpits and is highly legible to make the time easy to read in all conditions.
To complete this bold racing design the TAG Heuer Formula 1 Red Bull Racing Special Edition has round pushers painted with a red lacquer outline to highlight the chronograph start button at 2 o’clock.
A special bezel is engraved with the word “SPEED” a term which perfectly symbolises Formula 1’s quest for ultimate performance.
The caseback of the watch is also engraved with the words “RED BULL RACING FORMULA ONE TEAM SPECIAL EDITION.”
The new Red Bull Racing Special Edition is available in two different watch versions, one with a stainless-steel bracelet and one with a blue rubber strap.
In 2016 TAG Heuer became the official partner and timekeeper of the Red Bull Racing Formula 1 Team and accompanied all the race-winning moments of the team up until Max Verstappen’s outstanding victory in the final race of the 2021 season to win the World Drivers’ Championship.
TAG Heuer will continue to support the Red Bull Racing Team with the two partners recently announcing the extension of the relationship until 2024.

Celebrating the 60th anniversary of the legendary Autavia collection, Tag Heuer is releasing three new timepieces in 2022. This commemorative series is comprised of two flyback chronograph models and the first-ever three-hand GMT within the Autavia collection.
The Calibre Heuer 02 COSC Flyback manufacture movement brings the flyback function to the Autavia collection for the first time with two new chronograph models, while the Calibre 7 COSC GMT movement drives a brand-new three-hand GMT model – another first for the Autavia collection.
The new Autavia Flyback Chronograph references are immediately recognisable with their distinctive chronograph pushers and an extra-large crown, which are both inspired by the historic TAG Heuer dashboard timers.
Another feature that has contributed to the reputation of TAG Heuer chronographs is readability. Here too, TAG Heuer remains true to its DNA with a Super-LumiNova® coating on the hour markers and hands, which ensures quick and clear legibility, once again taking inspiration from a historic Autavia reference, the 73663, which included a dial variation that also featured large luminous Arabic numerals.
A bidirectional rotating bezel and a sapphire crystal front and back reinforce the durability and utility of the new TAG Heuer Autavia chronographs.
One of the two chronograph models features a silver dial and polished stainless-steel case, a nod to the rare and coveted panda dials that were produced for the Autavia in extremely limited quantities in the 1960s.
The second Autavia flyback model showcases the direct link to TAG Heuer’s military pieces of the past with its black dial and DLC-coated case.
The third model introduced in the 60th year of the Autavia wristwatch is fitted with the Calibre 7 COSC GMT movement. The completely new three-hand GMT Autavia (the first GMT model in the collection) features a radiant blue sunray-brushed dial. Its numerals and hands coated with Super-LumiNova® for perfect readability.
Measuring 42mm, the polished stainless-steel case is mounted with a magnificent blue and black ceramic bezel. The watch features four centrally placed hands for displaying hour, minute, seconds and GMT/second time-zone. The GMT hand can be distinguished easily by its bright orange color.
All three models will be delivered either on a stainless-steel bracelet or an alligator leather strap fitted with a double-pushbutton deployant clasp, and customers can choose an additional strap if they wish thanks to the easy interchangeability options on this model.
All timepieces from this new series are tested for a water resistance of 100 meters.

In 2021, Tag Heuer revived its Aquaracer Professional Series by launching a new luxury dive watch collection named Aquaracer Professional 300.
Now, the Swiss watchmaker is introducing the Aquaracer Professional 200, a new addition to the Aquaracer Professional Series. This new range will offer both gents and ladies’ dive watches with either a 40mm or 30mm stainless steel case.
Just like the Aquaracer Professional 300 series, Tag Heuer Aquaracer Professional 200 features the famous and now upgraded bezel with twelve facets first introduced in 1995; a refined, repeating horizontal line dial decoration; sculpted, chamfered, shorter lugs with brushed and polished finishes; a three-link bracelet, and a screw-down crown with twelve facets and protection.
TAG Heuer Aquaracer PROFESSIONAL 200 40mm Quartz
The Aquaracer Professional 200 is more compact at 40mm (compared to 43mm size of Aquaracer Professional 300), with the further option of a smaller 30mm case. The bezel still features a diving scale, only now it’s engraved into a steel insert, rather than one in ceramic. The central bracelet link is polished rather than brushed, lending the Aquaracer Professional 200 its more formal feel.
Where the Aquaracer Professional 300 has octagonal hour markers, an oversized hour hand, and yellow detailing, the Aquaracer Professional 200 adopts more classic sports watch codes with straight-edged, trapezoidal hour markers, sleeker sword-shaped hands, and crisp white detailing. For dial legibility, the hour markers and hands are still coated with Super-LumiNova, but to create a more sartorial look, no luminescent material has been applied to the bezel.
Tag Heuer Aquaracer Professional 200 Automatic 40mm
The new Aquaracer Professional 200 models offer a choice of movements. In the 40mm collection, there are two automatic and two quartz references, while at 30mm there are two automatics and five quartz options. This marks another departure from the Aquaracer Professional 300, which is only available with an automatic mechanical movement.
The choice of movement changes the watch’s layout and functionality. Automatics are distinguished by their fumé (smoky) gradient dials, date windows (but without a magnifier – to maintain the watch’s streamlined profile), Super-LumiNova sweeping seconds hands, and more detailed minute tracks.
The quartz models have no date and a pared-back look by comparison, while otherwise retaining the same aesthetic and technical characteristics.
TAG Heuer Aquaracer Professional 200 30mm Automatic with Blue Mother of Pearl Dial
In the 30mm range there are further playful, elegant options. There are three quartz models with a light silver colour, light blue or black sunray dials; a quartz model with a diamond- dot white mother-of-pearl dial; an additional quartz model that adds a diamond-set bezel to a diamond-dot white mother-of-pearl dial; and then two automatics with either a black or blue fumé diamond-dot dial. Again, the automatics feature date windows.
TAG Heuer Aquaracer Professional 200 30mm Quartz with White Mother of Pearl Dial and Diamond-set Bezel
One attribute shared by every new Aquaracer Professional 200 reference is the case back design. The watch’s reverse is engraved with a compass, replacing the scaphander diving helmet that has featured on Aquaracer case backs (and its predecessors) since 2002. The backdrop to this remains the repeating engraved hexagonal motif seen on the Aquaracer Professional 300.
The bezel improvements detailed in the Aquaracer Professional 300 are also present in its sister watch. The bezel’s rotating mechanism is almost fluid, and yet still has a reassuring click that signals its reliability under pressure.
Both watches feature a slimmed-down, more elegant bracelet that continues TAG Heuer’s long tradition of producing ergonomic bracelet designs that follow the natural curvature of every wearer’s wrist.
As well as being highly flexible and durable, the Aquaracer Professional 200’s bracelet comes with a comfort link with a 7mm extension that can be adjusted quickly using a beautifully engineered push-down-and-pull release mechanism.
Both pieces in the Aquaracer Professional Series also have intelligently designed fluting on the bezel’s facets so it can be easily gripped and adjusted. The riders from previous generation Aquaracer bezels have been removed, giving the Aquaracer Professional 200 its uninterrupted bezel profile.

TAG Heuer has announced the launch of a special edition Aquaracer watch series created in collaboration with Naomi Osaka.
Japanese professional tennis player Naomi Osaka became a TAG Heuer brand ambassador in January 2021. To celebrate their partnership, Naomi and TAG Heuer worked together to create a new watch, an Aquaracer, which will be launched exclusively in the United States, Japan and Australia.
For this special edition, Naomi Osaka wanted the TAG Heuer model that bears her name to have shades of green on the dial and the strap. The green color has selected to reflect the champion’s dedication to tennis and her love for environment.
The TAG Heuer Aquaracer Naomi Osaka Limited Edition has two shades of green: the dial has a distinctive pale green colour forming a wave pattern, while details on the five minutes markers are in a different shade of green with a subtle reference to the colour of tennis balls. The octagonal hour markers are made of diamonds.
Green is also found in the two straps delivered with the watch: both on the green rubber strap which comes with the watch, and in the additional strap made from fishing nets. This strap is 100% recyclable and recycled, perfectly reflecting Naomi Osaka’s commitment to the environment.
A special tool to make it easy to change the straps is also included. Finally, the case back is decorated with the player’s official logo: a teddy bear holding a flower. Naomi’s favourite emblem can also be found on the exclusive packaging of this limited-edition watch.
TAG Heuer’s Aquaracer watches are known for their exceptional robustness and for their hour markers and hands that are unusually wide for this type of model. This makes it easy to see the time with one glance and it is worth noting that the Aquaracer’s bezel is also extra-wide which brings a bold design to the time piece and improve the readability.
The TAG Heuer Aquaracer Naomi Osaka Limited Edition comes in a black and green box featuring the player’s official logo as well as the TAG Heuer logo. The box includes a black travel pouch with green over-stitching.
The Aquaracer Professional 300 Naomi Osaka Limited Edition will be available in shops and online from January 2022. The series will be limited to 250 pieces, numbered from 1 to 250.

This new TAG Heuer Formula 1 chronograph pays tribute to the legend of Ayrton Senna.
On November 3rd 1991, Ayrton Senna took the chequered flag at the Australian Grand Prix, claiming his sixth victory of the season and winning the Formula 1 World Championship. A TAG Heuer ambassador since 1988, the Brazilian driver dominated the supreme discipline of motor racing, becoming World Champion in 1988, 1989, and 1991.
30 years ago, Ayrton Senna became the youngest Formula 1 driver to win three world championships. Today, to celebrate Ayrton Senna’s achievements, TAG Heuer and Senna brand launch a new SENNA Special Edition from the TAG Heuer Formula 1 collection in celebration of Ayrton Senna’s achievements.
One of the features of the timepiece is the embossed black leather bracelet, a reference to the S/EL that Senna used to wear on his TAG Heuer. The iconic bracelet was the first to be made by TAG Heuer. Its distinctive unique S-shaped design is highly recognizable. The bracelet’s leather has yellow stitching and also features a black steel clasp with double safety system push buttons.
The TAG Heuer Formula 1 Senna Special Edition colour scheme features yellow and black, paying tribute to Senna’s iconic colours. The yellow tone is present throughout this 2021 edition, starting with the famous double S (the Brazilian driver’s iconic brand), which crowns the bezel at 12 o’clock, alongside the Senna name.
The double S signature can be found on the dial too, where they are incorporated in the 6 o‘clock subdial. The grey anthracite dial houses classic hour, minute, and second indicators at 6, 9, and 3 o’clock, and is decorated with a discrete “TAG Heuer Formula 1” reminder.
The TAG Heuer Senna Special Edition 2021 also features an ultra-resistant black ceramic bezel, again accentuated by a delicate yellow border that underlines the elegance of the timepiece. The number 400 is engraved on the bezel, in a subtle reference to the 400 km/h speed that has never been reached in Formula 1.
The hour hand and indexes are treated with Super-LumiNova® to ensure optimum legibility in all situations. This special edition features a quartz movement and is water-resistant to 200 meters (20 bar).
An image of the Brazilian driver’s iconic helmet is engraved on the caseback and alongside a special engraving of the words “SENNA SPECIAL EDITION”.

Swiss luxury watch brand TAG Heuer revisits one of its most iconic collections, the TAG Heuer Carrera, and presents the new generation of a timeless sporty and elegant three-hand watch.
The new collection is comprised of four versions: the TAG Heuer Carrera Day Date 41 mm, the TAG Heuer Carrera Twin-Time 41 mm, The TAG Heuer Carrera Date 39 mm and the TAG Heuer Carrera Date 29 mm. All express the brand’s everlasting passion with readability.
The new-generation TAG Heuer Carrera Three Hands collection is presented in a wide range of sizes to fit all uses and tastes. The line consists of 13 references within four sub-collections – from a 29 mm to a 41 mm diameter.
All of them incorporate and echo the stylistic codes of the TAG Heuer Carrera Heuer 02 chronographs launched last year. The result is a refined and modern look inspired by the pure style that first made the TAG Heuer Carrera iconic.
All references will be offered in a stainless steel case – twelve on a steel bracelet and one on a leather strap – with the choice of black, blue, white or silver dials which feature the new Carrera logo. The steel bracelets are equipped with the brand-new H-shaped links, an innovative design which is even more ergonomic and comfortable on the wrist.
TAG Heuer Carrera Date 39 mm and TAG Heuer Carrera Day Date 41mm
The TAG Heuer Carrera in the sizes 39 mm and 41 mm have a Calibre 5 automatic movement and are equipped with a new case with refined lugs. The watches have the new H-shaped bracelet for the steel version and a brown alligator leather strap for the leather version.
The dial readability is always a central asset, especially with the bolder hands and refined index integration. The Carrera Date 39 mm is fitted with a date at 6 o’clock, and for the Day Date 41 mm, a thinner date frame has been designed.

The TAG Heuer Connected Bright Black Edition is an exclusive, superb and fresh reinterpretation of the TAG Heuer Connected smartwatch that combines the style, sophisticated aesthetics and technological performance.
The digital interface of this smartwatch has also received special attention, meaning the TAG Heuer Connected Bright Black Edition includes new versions of the brand’s popular watch faces as well as a brand new dial called Eclipse.
The new edition of the TAG Heuer Connected watch harmoniously combines stunning design with the finest materials and features two perfectly complementary colours: the intense sheen of golden accents combined with the depth and intensity of black. This luxury smartwatch is fitted with an elegant ceramic bezel, the softest leathers for its strap, a crisp sapphire crystal and new golden markings.
For the TAG Heuer Connected Bright Black Edition, the brand’s designers first selected a grade 2 titanium watch case and gave it the “Black Titanium” look. This effect is achieved by sandblasting and a black diamond-like carbon (DLC) coating, which gives the piece a supremely elegant matt black finish. It was applied to the watch’s clasp as well, with ever-thoughtful attention to detail.
The piece’s understated elegance is enhanced by its black ceramic bezel, which has been mirror polished to offer a beautiful contrast against the microbeaded case. The bezel features graduations and markings in golden lacquer, as do the black DLC-coated pushers and crown, adding subtle and sophisticated finishes to the piece.
The TAG Heuer Connected Bright Black Edition will be released alongside three new beautiful and easily interchangeable straps, with a comfortable and resistant rubber base and elevated soft leather covering, and in elegant colours, sporty chic blue, natural golden brown and classic, timeless black. Owners of the TAG Heuer Connected Bright Black Edition will thus have even more options available to quickly switch up the look of their watch depending on the occasion or their unique taste.
These three new colourways will join the existing TAG Heuer straps collection. The new straps are suitable for all third-generation TAG Heuer Connected watches.
To complement its sophisticated aesthetic, the TAG Heuer Connected Bright Black Edition’s digital interface has also been enhanced with some beautiful new features.
The TAG Heuer Connected Bright Black Edition will include the brand new watch face named Eclipse, created in-house and available for all TAG Heuer Connected watches. But for the special edition, the new Eclipse dial will be customised with a beautiful golden colour to perfectly match the standout casing of the TAG Heuer Connected Bright Black Edition.
In addition to the new dial, six of the famous TAG Heuer Connected watch faces have also been redesigned to seamlessly coordinate with the special edition colours. The Helios, Classic and Porsche dials, for example, are elegantly reimagined with gold elements to create perfect harmony with the design of the watch.
TAG Heuer Connected Bright Black Edition wearers will have access to many perfectly matched combinations including the never-before-seen Eclipse as well as Helios, Synopsis, Timekeeping and Classic from the core collection reworked to be paired with the golden accents of the new piece, plus Orbital and Heuer 02, which already offer complementary colours within their wide range of personalisation options.
The TAG Heuer Connected Bright Black Edition is available for CHF 2,500 at TAG Heuer boutiques worldwide as well as on the brand’s e-commerce website.

TAG Heuer’s Movements Director Carole Kasapi has been awarded the prestigious Prix Gaïa in the Craftsmanship – Creation category. With this distinction, the Musée international d’Horlogerie (MIH) of La Chaux-de Fonds recognizes and honors Carole’s remarkable contribution to the field of watchmaking.
Born in Paris, France into a family of watchmakers and educated in Switzerland at the esteemed horological institute of La Chaux-de-Fonds, Carole Kasapi, known by her peers as the Queen of Tourbillon, is a world-renowned movements designer specialized in complications and haute horlogerie.
Throughout her impressive career she has patented a number of revolutionary mechanisms and was previously awarded the Prix Abraham-Louis Breguet as well as the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève for her creations.
“We warmly congratulate Carole upon receiving the Prix Gaïa for her remarkable career and achievements thus far” says Frédéric Arnault, CEO of TAG Heuer, “This prestigious award from the MIH is a symbolic and well-deserved recognition of Carole’s exceptional skills and creativity as well as her passionate and generous transmission of know-how. We join her peers and colleagues in celebrating her outstanding contribution to horological innovation and we are excited for her next breakthroughs at TAG Heuer.”
“I am honored and humbled to be a laureate of the Prix Gaïa alongside so many outstanding watch creators, artisans, engineers or researchers.” adds Carole Kasapi, “This award is especially meaningful to me as it is bestowed by the Musée international d’Horlogerie in La Chaux-de-Fonds, the cradle of watchmaking where I was fortunate to learn and perfect my art. Today I am more than ever inspired to keep pushing the boundaries of our industry and explore the limitless possibilities of movement design at TAG Heuer.”
Since joining TAG Heuer in March 2020, Carole’s role has been to devise and implement the brand’s movements strategy for the long term. Among other projects, Carole most recently contributed to the very first Calibre Heuer 02 integrating the carbon hairspring Isograph technology, within the spectacular TAG Heuer Only Watch Carbon Monaco timepiece.
Following the launch of the new TAG Heuer Aquaracer Professional 300 seriesduring Watches and Wonders Geneva in April, TAG Heuer has released three references, including a new iteration of a TAG Heuer icon, the all-black, lume-dialled TAG Heuer Aquaracer Professional 300 Night Diver.
These three TAG Heuer Aquaracer Professional 300 models take the collection to 11 references. All three new models are non-limited and go into the core collection, each with a 43 mm stainless steel case and rubber strap equipped with TAG Heuer’s innovative adjustable folding clasp.
The new black and blue versions pick up on the bracelet models introduced at Watches and Wonders: both are colour-themed with matching black or blue dials, ceramic bezel inserts and rubber straps.
The standout model of the release is the black DLC-coated Night Diver. Its stainless-steel case, bezel, crown, caseback and clasp are all coated in matt black diamond-like carbon, known as DLC, a high- performance, hard-wearing finish designed for use in extreme conditions. The bezel insert is highly resistant black ceramic.
The TAG Heuer “Night Diver” was first introduced in the mid- 1980s. Loved by active, style-conscious watch buyers who push their limits, it became one of the most celebrated sports watches of its era.
TAG Heuer has created a faithful update to this much-loved watch, retaining and improving signature details such as the famous 12-sided bezel and the dial’s horizontal engraved lines to produce a refined, highly versatile modern classic.
The Night Diver’s other signature feature is its fully luminescent dial, which is coated in green Super- LumiNova® to deliver exceptional glow-in-the-dark performance. To ensure ultimate legibility in extreme low-light conditions, the watch’s minute and central seconds hands are filled with blue lume to contrast with the green of the dial.
The hour hand and octagonal hour markers at 12, 3, 6 and 9 o’clock are filled with green lume, and the remaining octagonal hour markers are all edged with black lacquer. The triangle on the unidirectional rotating bezel at 12, which is crucial to accurately and safely measure dive times, is also filled with striking blue lume to match the blue of the minute and central seconds hands.
Each of the new TAG Heuer Aquaracer Professional 300 references comes with a beautifully engineered integrated rubber strap equipped with TAG Heuer’s newly developed adjustable clasp system.
These straps will be cut to length as part of a fitting process at a TAG Heuer boutique or by an authorised dealer. The wearer will then have the freedom to adjust their strap to accommodate a wetsuit, or simply to reflect changes in ambient conditions that make the wrist expand or contract.
The fine-tuning system developed by TAG Heuer allows this adjustment can be made to extremely small tolerances. This is done by pinching and sliding the button on the side of the clasp.
The clasp also features double safety push-buttons that prevent it from being unlocked by accident. It’s this level of utility that underscores the Aquaracer Professional 300 series’ ultimate luxury tool watch status.
As with the eight pieces in the launch collection, the three new references pick up on the six signature features that have defined TAG Heuer dive watches since 1983: a unidirectional rotating bezel, a screw-down crown, water resistance to at least 200 metres, luminous markings, a scratch-resistant crystal and a double safety clasp.
The form carries a number of further details that enhance its luxury feel and performance. The 12 sides of the bezel are all faceted for grip, the crown is protected to prevent accidental damage and there’s a magnifying glass over the date, which is integrated into the underside of the sapphire crystal, making it smooth to the touch.
