TAG Heuer and Oracle Red Bull Racing: A Legacy of Speed
Since 2016, TAG Heuer has proudly been the Official Partner and Timekeeper of Oracle Red Bull Racing. Over the years, this partnership has seen four World Drivers’ Championships with Max Verstappen, a driver who defines the precision, resilience, and relentless drive that both Oracle Red Bull Racing and TAG Heuer stand for.
At the eighth Grand Prix of the 2024 season on the legendary streets of Monaco, TAG Heuer presented the Oracle Red Bull Racing driver with an exceptional timepiece: the bold TAG Heuer Monaco Split-Seconds Chronograph.
This year, at the Formula 1 Louis Vuitton Australian Grand Prix 2025, the first Grand Prix where TAG Heuer returns as the Official Timekeeper of Formula 1®, Max Verstappen will wear a new edition of the TAG Heuer Monaco Split-Seconds Chronograph.
Four Stars, One Champion
Oracle Red Bull Racing driver Max Verstappen’s customised TAG Heuer Monaco Split-Second Chronograph now features four stars to mark his world titles in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024.
A second subdial bears his signature lion emblem alongside his name, a symbol of his fearless drive and a tribute to precision and excellence. Meanwhile, the number ‘1’ is positioned at 1 o’clock, a bold statement of his championship successes.
The personalisation took 12 hours, with the championship years displayed on the hour counter and “World Champion Max Verstappen” engraved on the rotor. Powering this timepiece is the TAG Heuer Calibre TH81-00, a mechanical split-seconds chronograph movement. The split-seconds function, called a ‘rattrapante’ in French, is capable of measuring two separate time intervals concurrently, providing a level of functionality that exceeds that of a regular chronograph.
The Chase for Innovation
Led by the visionary Carole Kasapi, TAG Heuer’s Movements Director and an industry legend, the team, comprising the finest in-house talents and esteemed industrial suppliers, embraced the challenge of creating a groundbreaking movement that would redefine TAG Heuer’s concept of the chronograph.
The Calibre TH81-00 is a true testament to TAG Heuer’s commitment to precision and technical excellence. Developed in collaboration with the esteemed manufacturer Vaucher, the movement showcases the brand’s relentless pursuit of watchmaking perfection.
