Senna-themed chronograph models are a time-honored tradition for the Swiss brand, and for 2022 TAG Heuer sets its sights on a unique Formula 1 automatic chronograph variant with racy red accents. The new TAG Heuer Formula 1 Senna Special Edition is a bold and sporting tribute to Ayrton Senna’s enduring legacy, with a wealth of subtle touches inspired by the Brazilian racing driver’s life and career.

Vaguely inspired by the classic Autavia models of the ‘70s, this muscular case offers a continuous curve from lug tip to lug tip, polished slab case sides, and short, wedge-like lugs. The heavy gear-toothed tachymeter bezel is a Formula 1 series staple, and here TAG Heuer crowns this familiar element with a unique radially brushed black ceramic insert. Cheap Tag Heuer Replica adds extra splashes of red to the crown and 2 o’clock chronograph pusher, tying these elements in with the Senna emblem in images and adding a sense of visual cohesion to the overall design.

Around back, the brand finishes this case with a detailed caseback engraving of Ayrton Senna in his trademark racing helmet. As with the rest of the modern Formula 1 line, the Formula 1 Senna Special Edition provides an impressively robust water resistance, with Swiss TAG Heuer Replica rating the watch for 200 meters.The main dial surface is rendered in a moody graphite gray sunburst finish, coupled to a set of applied rhodium-plated wedge indices and tapering baton hands shared with the rest of the Formula 1 line. TAG Heuer opts for a low-contrast look with the Formula 1 Senna Special Edition’s subdials, rendering all three recessed surfaces in a classic black azurage finish.

This gray-on-black colorway allows the dial’s red accents to pop dramatically in images, and the brand elevates this dial design significantly through the thoughtful application of this color. The Luxury Replica Watches 12 o’clock 30-minute chronograph subdial uses its red to highlight alternating 5-minute segments of its scale for a classic ‘70s racing chronograph-style effect, in contrast with the simpler narrow red outer accent ring on the 9 o’clock running seconds subdial. Each of the three subdials uses this red highlight hue differently, lending the dial a greater feeling of visual depth and complexity.

The 6 o’clock chronograph hours subdial offers the most generous use of color, with a sharply printed Senna emblem ringed by a subtly wider outer contrast ring. Additional touches like the red-outlined triangular markers on the azurage outer seconds ring and the Tag Heuer Replica Watches slim red border surrounding the 3 o’clock date window help to visually tie this assortment of elements together in images. As for the date window itself, while non-dial-matched date windows are a generally divisive inclusion among enthusiasts, this white highlight helps to visually counterweight the three subdials.

TAG Heuer pairs the Replica Formula 1 Senna Special Edition with its unique S-link bracelet in stainless steel. Designed to emulate the bracelet on Ayrton Senna’s personal TAG Heuer S/el watch, this curving split-link design is a defining hallmark of TAG Heuer’s ‘80s and ‘90s offerings and continues to be instantly recognizable to this day. The effectiveness of this rounded, flowing bracelet design’s integration with the more aggressive, angular Formula 1 case is a matter of personal taste, however.
