The Buzz of the Grand PrixTM at any time
The TAG Heuer Connected Calibre E5 x Formula 1 brings the pulse of every Grand PrixTM to life, keeping a constant connection to the championship so no moment is ever missed. From the first practice session to race day, the entire season becomes a seamless, uninterrupted experience, generating pure racing emotion from start to finish. At the heart of this edition is the hero watch face, the Race Track, with digital time displayed beneath the track outline and a design that adapts to each Grand Prix, represented by the country flag, race name, and its own racetrack silhouette. The watch evolves automatically throughout the seasons, featuring 24 unique designs for 24 Grand Prix weekends to create a dynamic connection to the championship. As a final playful detail, a moving dot travels around the circuit outline to indicate the passing seconds.
Alongside the Race Track face, all the classic TAG Heuer watch faces are re-designed to perfectly match the TAG Heuer Formula 1 edition and the physical watch, ensuring every style reflects the spirit of the track. At the center of the experience, is the exclusive The Formula 1® app, a direct line to the championship. Accessible via a dedicated entry in the watch menu, it provides access to the season calendar, Grand Prix schedules, post-race results, and driver and team standings, sourced directly from the race schedules. It ensures that no result, no session, and no ranking is ever missed. With smart widgets delivering key updates instantly without opening the app, the wearer stays connected to the championship at every moment, before, during, and after each Grand Prix.
Every element of the system is designed for an authentic and ultimate 360 Formula 1® experience. Custom sounds and branded icons add subtle racing flavor to the experience with a set of branded icons and notifications mimicking pit radio communications, so every alert feels like a call straight from the pit wall, making the wearer the driver of its own race story. Animated bezel markings and circular complications highlight each phase of the race weekend, allowing the wearer to follow FP1, FP2, FP3, Q1, Q2, Q3, and the Grand PrixTM race at a glance.
Beyond the Formula 1® experience, the latest Calibre E5 transforms everyday interaction into a seamless, engaging journey. TAG Heuer OS guides with intuitive navigation, responsive haptics, and notifications that are felt and heard. Integrated wellness features track activity, sleep, and heart rate, translating data into clear insights that inspire movement and push limits, while dual-band high-precision GPS captures every outdoor adventure with uncompromising accuracy. Elegant, versatile and technologically advanced, the Calibre E5 makes every second pulse with the energy of the track.
On the Canvas of Speed
The TAG Heuer Connected Calibre E5 45 mm x Formula 1 channels the essence of the Formula 1® racing in every detail.

Integrated pushers with black DLC and red lacquer accents, a black rubber and black DLC steel crown add a subtle racing touch. A heart rate sensor sensor and the red Formula 1® logo on the caseback celebrate the collaboration and reinforce timepiece’s high-octane identity.
