Tag Heuer often releases special editions of its smartwatches, and its first for the Calibre E5 family is the most logical partnership yet, as it’s with Formula One.<\/p>\n

Based on the 45mm Titanium version of the Connected Calibre E5<\/a>, Tag Heuer has gone all-out to put the excitement of the 2026 F1 season on your wrist. <\/p>\n

Hardware upgrades<\/p>\n

The case is made from Grade 2 Titanium and has been brushed and sandblasted, then given a diamond-like carbon (DLC) coating for a unique finish. <\/p>\n

The bezel has markings to show the phases of a race weekend, from Free Practice sessions to qualifying sessions, and finally the race start.<\/p>\n

Two different straps are included with the smartwatch. A black leather strap has a rubber underside and a carbon-like pattern along the edges, while the second is one of Tag Heuer\u2019s latest textile straps for comfort and 24-hour wear. <\/p>\n

Software for F1 fans<\/p>\n

The smartwatch uses Tag Heuer\u2019s own Tag Heuer OS software, which has been customized with special F1-inspired icons and sounds, along with cool-sounding notification alerts that mimic pit crew radio messages.<\/p>\n

The software makes use of the special bezel, with animated indicators showing race weekend status and activity. A special watch face, called Race Track, shows a representation of the race track for the current race, and changes as the season progresses.<\/p>\n

Owners also gain access to an exclusive app. Called The Formula One, it shows the F1 race calendar, results, timings, and championship information. It includes a widget for the smartwatch, so all the information fans could want is never far away.<\/p>\n

Tag Heuer and F1<\/p>\n

Tag Heuer has a long and illustrious relationship with all forms of motor racing, from its iconic Monaco watch famously worn by Steve McQueen in the 1971 movie Le Mans, to the long-running Formula One model.<\/p>\n

In a significant step last year, Tag Heuer became the official timing partner for Formula One<\/a>, taking over from Rolex, and its branding and timing gear can be seen at every race. <\/p>\n

It makes sense for the watchmaker to release a special edition of its latest smartwatch to celebrate this, and it’s great to see such a detailed model with plenty of design elements for fans to enjoy. <\/p>\n

The Tag Heuer Connected Calibre E5 x Formula One will be available from March 3. The price has not been revealed at the time of writing, but expect it to be around $2,550. <\/p>\n
