TAG Heuer Unveils Exciting 2025 Collection: Formula 1 Solargraph and Carrera Innovations

Watches of Switzerland, your Official TAG Heuer Retailer in Canberra and nationwide online, proudly presents the latest horological masterpieces from this iconic Swiss watchmaker.

TAG Heuer’s enduring connection with motorsport takes centre stage in 2025 with three exceptional new collections that honour the brand’s racing DNA while pushing the boundaries of watchmaking innovation. As the Official Timekeeper of Formula 1®, TAG Heuer continues to bring the precision and excitement of racing to the wrist.

The highlight of this year’s releases is the reimagined Formula 1 Solargraph collection – nine distinctive models that combine the collection’s original 1986 spirit with cutting-edge solar power technology. Featuring a refined 38mm case size, these watches incorporate TAG Heuer’s innovative TH50-00 movement that requires just two minutes of sunlight for a full day’s power, and can run for up to 10 months on a complete charge.

Equally impressive is the revival of the iconic beads-of-rice bracelet for selected Carrera Chronograph models. This beloved design element from the 1960s returns with enhanced ergonomics and a seven-row construction that strikes the perfect balance between vintage appeal and modern comfort.

Completing the 2025 highlights is a comprehensive evolution of the Carrera Day-Date collection. Six distinctive models feature the manufacture TH31 calibre with its impressive 80-hour power reserve, refined aesthetics, and thoughtful touches like the Victory Wreath caseback engraving. The standout Twin-Time model showcases a teal sunray-brushed dial inspired by historic racing liveries and a red-tipped GMT hand that honours heritage Carrera references.

From Jack Heuer’s passion for racing that inspired the original Carrera in 1963 to the brand’s pioneering sponsorships with teams like Ferrari and McLaren, TAG Heuer’s motorsport heritage infuses every aspect of these exciting new timepieces. As the brand continues to time the decisive moments on Formula 1® circuits worldwide, these watches bring that same spirit of precision and excellence to enthusiasts everywhere.

A New Era for TAG Heuer Formula 1: Solargraph Collection Makes History

In an exhilarating launch that perfectly coincides with TAG Heuer’s ongoing role as official timekeeper of Formula 1®, the iconic Swiss manufacturer has reimagined its legendary Formula 1 collection for 2025. Nine distinctive new models combine the collection’s racing heritage with cutting-edge technology and contemporary design in a perfectly sized 38mm case.

The 2025 TAG Heuer Formula 1 Solargraph collection pays homage to the original 1986 timepieces that helped define TAG Heuer’s identity while introducing significant technical innovations. Most notably, these models feature TAG Heuer’s groundbreaking Solargraph movement – marking the first time this solar-powered technology has been incorporated into the Formula 1 collection.

The new Formula 1 Solargraph watches represent TAG Heuer’s commitment to both heritage and innovation. The 38mm case size hits a sweet spot that works perfectly for a variety of wrist sizes, while the solar technology offers practical benefits that today’s watch enthusiasts will appreciate.

The Solargraph movement harnesses energy from both sunlight and artificial light sources, with impressive efficiency. Just two minutes of direct sunlight provides enough power for a full day of operation, while a fully charged watch can run for up to 10 months without light exposure. The battery itself boasts a 15-year lifespan, ensuring exceptional long-term reliability.

Beyond the revolutionary movement, the new Formula 1 collection introduces another TAG Heuer innovation: TH-Polylight. This lightweight yet durable material offers unlimited color possibilities and is used in the bidirectional bezel construction, enhancing both the aesthetics and tactile experience of the timepieces.

The collection launches with three core models in the permanent collection, followed by six limited editions that will be released throughout 2025 to coincide with specific Formula 1® races – creating exciting opportunities for collectors to acquire these special timepieces.

TAG Heuer Carrera Day-Date: A Timeless Icon Returns

In perhaps the most anticipated release of 2025, TAG Heuer presents a significant evolution of the beloved Carrera Day-Date. Deeply rooted in motorsport heritage, this collection embodies the spirit of precision, achievement and triumph that has defined the Carrera name since 1963.

The TAG Heuer Carrera Day-Date has always been a cornerstone timepiece for discerning collectors. These new models elevate the collection further with manufacture movements, refined aesthetics, and thoughtful design details that honor TAG Heuer’s racing legacy.

The collection features six distinct models, each with its own personality while maintaining the unmistakable Carrera DNA. The range includes a signature blue sunray-brushed dial, an elegant smokey red opaline dial, a sophisticated black opaline dial available in both steel bracelet and two-tone configurations, and a dynamic black grained dial with vibrant red and blue accents.

A standout piece in the collection is the TAG Heuer Carrera Date Twin-Time with its teal sunray-brushed dial – a color inspired by racing liveries from motorsport’s golden age. The red-tipped GMT hand adds both functionality for travellers and a subtle nod to the brand’s heritage Carrera GMT models.

Powered by the manufacture movement TH31 (in TH31-02 and TH31-03 variants for the Twin-Time), these timepieces deliver an impressive 80-hour power reserve and come with a five-year extended warranty. The movements feature high-end finishings, including a shield-shaped oscillating mass visible through the sapphire caseback.

A notable detail across the collection is the Victory Wreath engraving on each caseback – connecting these watches to the TAG Heuer Carrera’s racing history and serving as a subtle talisman of good fortune for the wearer, just as gold Carrera watches once did for legendary racing drivers.

Beads-of-Rice Returns: A Classic Bracelet Design Reimagined for Carrera Chronograph

For enthusiasts who appreciate TAG Heuer’s rich heritage, 2025 brings the triumphant return of a beloved detail from the 1960s – the beads-of-rice bracelet, reimagined for the contemporary Carrera Chronograph collection.

This iconic bracelet design, which alternates larger flat outer links with smaller rounded central links resembling grains of rice, has been thoughtfully reengineered for modern comfort. While honoring the vintage aesthetic that made the original so desirable, TAG Heuer’s engineers have enhanced the bracelet’s ergonomics with improved articulation that follows the natural contours of the wrist.

The new seven-row construction strikes a perfect balance between strength and refinement, crafted from fine-brushed and polished steel with a secure folding clasp featuring double safety push buttons and the applied TAG Heuer shield.

This signature bracelet will be available on four TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph models, all within the emblematic glassbox segment, including the black and signature blue Carrera Chronographs from 2023, as well as the recently launched 2024 “Panda” and “teal green Dato” models.
