TAG Heuer has released a special edition tribute to motorsport legend Ayrton Senna, the Brazilian racer. Formula 1 Senna, which contains Senna’s name from the product name, is a new topic of discussion.
The Formula 1 Senna Special Edition is in a stainless steel case and is inspired by the signature model (ex. S/EL launched in 1987) that Ayrton Senna wore during her lifetime as an ambassador for replica TAG Heuer in the 1980s and 1990s. The distinctive S-linked steel bracelet leading to the In fact, it’s not very new, as the Link bracelet was introduced in the Formula 1 Senna Special Edition in 2017 as well. For reference, the bracelet is equipped with a so-called Pilot extension system along with a folding clasp with push-button type double closure, so that the watch can be worn over the driving suit or sleeve without tools.
The diameter of the case is 44mm, and the fixed steel bezel uses a black ceramic insert that is resistant to scratches and does not cause discoloration. After engraving a tachymetric scale with a high-frequency laser on the brushed top surface (see also the iconic speed of 400 km/h never reached in Formula 1), it is finished with white lacquer, bearing the name of Senna. Only the ‘S’ logo, which symbolizes him, is treated in red to give a design point. The sunray-brushed-finished anthracite dial has a black Azurage-treated counter and the date window at 3 o’clock in red color, and the crown and pusher are also trimmed in red to give the overall black and red color. The harmony makes the watch stand out. Meanwhile, the rhodium-plated appliqué indexes and hands are coated with white Super-LumiNova.
The movement is equipped with caliber 16 modified from the typical universal automatic chronograph workhorse ETA/Valjou 7750 (frequency of 4 Hz, power reserve of about 44 hours). A version without the day of the week disc, this movement is so reliable that it needs no further explanation as to its operational stability and performance. A screw-type solid steel caseback is used to reveal the movement, but instead, the iconic helmet worn by Sena when he commanded Formula 1 was engraved with a special engraving along with the product name ‘SENNA SPECIAL EDITION’, so Formula 1 fans’ desire to own it. evokes. It also supports 200m water resistance with a screw-down crown to emphasize its sporty character.replica watches
