Aesthetically, the TAG F1 offerings use more traditional dial markings, while the Breitling Endurance Pro uses bold fonts to exaggerate the dial feel. TAG proposes 3 new colours, while Breitling has 5. While for Breitling the watches are essentially black with colour accents and straps. Though the key difference is that the TAG features the entire dial in the brilliant colours, including the rubber straps.

The series is rather reminiscent of the Breitling Endurance Pro series released in 2020, which is pitched at a price level which is one notch higher. The three colours chosen are red, yellow and green. This is a traditional stronghold for the maison, with good support from enthusiasts at the entry level, and fits right into the genre we discussed on last Sunday’s Newbie Collector recommendations for watches below SGD 5k. Just in time to celebrate the return of the Singapore Formula 1 Grand Prix Night Race, TAG Heuer releases three new playful chronographs powered by quartz movements. The new TAG Heuer Formula 1 Chronographs are retailing at SGD 2,600 inclusive of GST, available now.

I was trying to put my finger on why the green model felt the most like it represents TAG and finally realized it’s because of the red framing of the sub-dials matched with the green dial form the colors of the brand’s logo.Įach of these three new Formula 1 watches comes on a matching rubber strap with a brushed steel pin buckle and have an enclosed steel case back with the checkered flag motif. This one also features black indices/hands with white Superluminova with a white lacquered chronograph hand. Finally, there is the green edition which may be the most “everyday” wearable of the batch. The yellow edition has black indices/hands with white Superluminova and a red lacquer chronograph hand with a black circle framing the chronograph sub-dials. That white against red visual theme carries into the black chronograph sub-dials which are framed in white circles and have guilloché finishes. The red edition has rhodium-plated indices/hands filled with white Superluminova and a white lacquer chronograph hand that is very legible. My personal favorite is the red edition, I just find the almost-ruby hue of the dial to be so well executed. Beyond the dial and strap colors, there are some subtleties distinguishing the three different variants. The dials are really striking when seen in the metal and TAG really succeeded in creating an immediately eye-catching pop of color. Each of the green, yellow, and red dials are done in with sunray brushing that just ups the vibrancy. Of course, the colors are the real story here. These variants have a fixed black PVD bezel with the classic tachymeter scale. For most people looking for a fun, colorful, no worries sports watch that can handle a long weekend, the Formula 1 is a no-brainer.

These three Formula 1 watches all share the same base model which comes in a 43mm stainless steel case with a quartz chronograph movement and 200m of water resistance. I got to spend some hands-on time with all three and they are a lot of fun and really just an excellent value. The ubiquitous racing-inspired sports watch collection is now adding three bright colorways in yellow, red, and green, each with a matching colored strap. At this point it’s almost cliché to point out that TAG Heuer’s Formula 1 collection is one of the most robust and long-standing entry level offerings in Swiss watches. If you don’t personally have a TAG Heuer Formula 1 memory or story, then a close friend or family member almost certainly does.
