As the Formula 1 season gets under way, TAG Heuer presents a special edition that takes the pulse of every Grand Prix straight to your wrist. The TAG Heuer Connected Calibre E5 45 mm x Formula 1 combines black DLC-treated titanium with advanced smartwatch technology, built for enthusiasts who want to follow every lap, every session, and every championship point in real time.
A heritage rooted deep in Formula 1
The relationship between Formula 1 and TAG Heuer stretches across decades, with collaborations alongside iconic teams and drivers and the role of official timekeeper — a position the brand reclaimed for the 2025 season as part of Formula 1’s broader LVMH era. The new Connected model carries that heritage into a modern context through a dedicated Formula 1 app in the watch. Here you get access to the race calendar, weekend schedules, results, and current standings — complemented by widgets and notifications that convey the feeling of communication straight from the pit lane.
A dynamic dial that follows the season
The model’s signature is the “Race Track” dial that adapts to each race weekend. A total of 24 unique designs mirror all of the season’s Grand Prix, with country flag, circuit name, and track layout integrated into the display. A moving marker shows the seconds passing around the circuit’s outline and reinforces the racing feel. The classic TAG Heuer dials have also been updated to harmonise with the Formula 1 aesthetic.
Performance and materials in pole position
The Grade 2 titanium case with black DLC, a ceramic bezel with engraved race phases (the seven segments of a Grand Prix weekend — FP1, FP2, FP3, Q1, Q2, Q3, and the GP itself), and red details give it a distinct motorsport expression. Under the surface, the Calibre E5 works with a 1.39-inch AMOLED screen, heart-rate monitoring, sleep tracking, and dual-band GPS for high precision. Two straps — one in black leather and rubber with red stitching, plus a flexible textile option — make the model versatile for both everyday wear and training. The launch takes place in March 2026, priced at $2,550 (around CHF 2,400), with exclusive early online access for those who want to be first.
This is the fifth generation of the Connected line, the descendant of the 2015 original that is widely credited as the first luxury smartwatch. For the mechanical side of TAG Heuer’s F1 story this year, see our piece on the new Monaco at Watches and Wonders 2026.
