Appearing in deep black to rich purple gradient dials, the new 39mm Carrera Chronograph (Ref. CBS2219.FC6607) and the 42mm Tourbillon (Ref.

TAG Heuer Carrera Chronosprint x Porsche Rallye
Going strong in the 5th year of partnership, Porsche and TAG Heuer have again joined hands for the two new TAG Heuer Carrera Chronosprint x Porsche Rallye, paying tribute to the success of the first shared motorsport legacy at Monte Carlo Rally. Blending Porsche’s iconic 911 with TAG Heuer’s precision chronographs, introduced are a variant in steel (Ref. CBS2015.EB0381) limited to 911 pieces, and another in 18K 3N yellow gold (Ref. CBS2041.EB0382), limited to 11 pieces.
Both watches are 42mm with black shimmery dials, a tribute to the Monte Carlo stopwatches from 1965, featuring a black flange with 60 seconds and minutes scale, and beige markings that refer to the original car’s steering wheel. The red lines from 12 to 4 o’clock on the right side of the flange are a graphic representation of speed, paying homage to the 1965 Porsche 911 “147”, that achieved a sprint of 0 to 100 km/h, during the Monte Carlo Rally. Furthermore, there are three subdials for 30 minutes, 60 seconds with a date window, and 12 hours, at 3, 6, and 9 o’clock.

TAG Heuer Formula 1 Chronograph
There are five new chronographs with modern design and racing DNA, including the special edition Oracle Red Bull Racing Edition. Every detail on the timepieces reflects the spirit of Formula 1: from the aerodynamic lines of the cases, reminiscent of the nose of a racing car, to the micro-perforated bezel, inspired by brake discs. Even the indexes take up the design of the front sections of F1 racing cars.
The ergonomic design of the watches sets new standards: An optimized lug-to-lug distance ensures maximum wearing comfort, while the case profile has been carefully refined. Lightweight titanium, partly with DLC coating, and dynamic rubber straps guarantee robustness and incomparable wearability - ideal for racing enthusiasts and urban trendsetters.
The series is presented in energetic colour combinations inspired by night racing. Striking black meets bright highlights: Red, blue, and lime green give the models a fresh look and underline their dynamic character. Each model interprets this colour theme differently - from red racetrack accents on the dial to two-tone rubber straps that ensure a lively look.
The black opaline dial is framed by inserted indexes that underline the kinetic energy of the collection. Coloured bezel inserts emphasize the movement and give the watches a playful, sporty look.
A highlight of the collection is the TAG Heuer Formula 1 Chronograph x Oracle Red Bull Racing – a tribute to the successful partnership that began in 2016. This eye-catching special edition combines innovative design with the unmistakable colours of Oracle Red Bull Racing.
The sandblasted titanium case, the forged carbon tachymeter bezel and the opaline dial with a checkerboard pattern are an expression of pure racing passion. Refined details such as the red lacquered crown ring, the two-tone rubber strap and the yellow lacquered central hand axis give this watch an unmistakable dynamism. The back of the case is decorated with the logos of TAG Heuer and Oracle Red Bull Racing, framed by an engraved checkered pattern - a subtle but powerful allusion to Formula 1. The case measures 44mm.

The watches are equipped with the Caliber 16, offer water resistance up to 200 meters and combine functionality with an aesthetic appeal that appeals to generations of watch lovers.
With the shift from quartz to automatic movement, the Formula 1 collection has reached a new dimension and will continue to be the entry point into the world of mechanical chronographs and the brand for many. Prices start at Rs. 4,37,271 (approx.), while the Oracle Red Bull edition is Rs. 4,77,000 (approx.)
