These fun, breezy, sometimes-blingy designs are just perfect for a promenade down South Beach. You’ve got the flash from the colourways, but there’s a sporty edge too, both in the design’s racing heritage—the bezel can be twisted so the second hand functions as a timer—and in the nifty solar charging aspect. The Goldilocks 38mm sizing also makes them suitable for pretty much any wrist.
The beauty of the Formula 1s has always been TAG’s ability to churn them out in every possible colorway under the sun. The watch is extremely adaptable and, while there is racing heritage, is meant to explore the fun, colorful side of the sport. While most vintage models lean into an explosion of bright colors, these pastel versions provide a fresh spin on the beloved model.
Diamonds, pastel bezels, and sporty design heritage? Yes, there’s something about these watches a little reminiscent of Richard Mille’s RM 07-01 Coloured Ceramics range, which has recently come to an end. You’d certainly see a few of those at high-end spots in Miami, too. But if you missed out on those drops, or, more likely, can’t stretch to a supercar-sized budget, these TAGs have a similar vibe at a much more approachable price point. Rev your engines and race over to the boutique.
