TAG Heuer has announced the launch of the Connected Calibre E5 45mm x Formula 1 watch in anticipation of the 2026 Formula 1 season, set to begin on March 6. Combining Swiss watchmaking expertise with advanced technology, this new edition pays tribute to the motorsport season by featuring a dynamic design that changes with each Grand Prix event.
Design Inspired by Iconic Racetracks and Grand Prix Events
The standout feature of the TAG Heuer Connected Calibre E5 45mm x Formula 1 is its dial, which incorporates a race track outline that shifts to reflect the specific circuit for each of the 24 Grand Prix weekends throughout the season. Displaying unique details such as the race location’s name and country flag, the watch celebrates every event with a fresh and personalized look.
Time is presented digitally on the watch face, while a moving dot traces the track outline to indicate passing seconds. The bezel features a touchscreen interface, which not only highlights key moments of each Grand Prix weekend but is also housed in a durable black DLC-coated titanium case. The watch’s design is further accentuated by black and red pushers flanking the crown on the right side, drawing attention to its racing heritage.
Smart Functions Tailored for Formula 1 Enthusiasts
Equipped with smart capabilities, the Connected Calibre E5 works seamlessly with the dedicated Formula 1 app to provide users with real-time updates. This smartwatch offers access to Grand Prix schedules, race results, current driver and team rankings, and ongoing season news, ensuring fans stay connected to the fast-paced world of Formula 1.
Adding to the immersive racing experience, the watch delivers custom alerts and sounds that simulate pit radio communications, creating a sense of being trackside during every race weekend.
Comprehensive Fitness and Navigation Features
Beyond its motorsport functions, the TAG Heuer Connected Calibre E5 45mm x Formula 1 integrates TAG Heuer OS, unlocking wellness tools like activity tracking, sleep monitoring, heart rate measurement, and recovery analysis. A PPG sensor on the caseback supports these health features, appealing to users who value both performance and well-being.
The watch offers two strap options: a black leather and rubber combination with red stitching or a textile strap, catering to different style preferences while maintaining a sporty, elegant look.
