The TAG Heuer Formula 1 Chronograph Goodwood Festival of Speed CAZ201K.BA0876 is a striking tribute to motorsport. This exclusive limited-edition watch celebrates the brand being the Official Timing Partner for the historic British racing event.
Its design concept relies on speed, heritage, and pure mechanical precision. The inspiration behind this unique timepiece is the legendary Goodwood Hillclimb race track in West Sussex, England.
To honor this, the watch features a bright red marking at exactly the thirty-nine second position. This detail commemorates the record hillclimb run of 39.08 seconds set in 2022.
Specification
The case of this TAG Heuer Formula 1 watch is crafted from high-quality fine-brushed and polished stainless steel. It features a bold diameter of 44mm, providing immense presence on the wrist.
For absolute protection, the front of the watch features a flat, scratch-resistant sapphire crystal glass. This model uses a fixed green ceramic bezel insert matching the dial color.
The ceramic bezel features an oversized tachymeter scale typography for quick speed-measuring functionality. This specialized tachymeter scale allows racing drivers to measure average speed over a set distance.
The solid stainless steel screw-down caseback ensures the internal automatic movement is completely sealed. It is meticulously engraved with the official Goodwood Festival of Speed emblem.
The caseback also bears a highly collectible inscription reading one of 500. This confirms the production is strictly limited to only 500 pieces worldwide.
The watch is secured on a matching fine-brushed three-row stainless steel bracelet. It features a secure folding clasp with a double safety mechanism to prevent accidental opening.
This model offers an impressive water resistance rating of 200 meters deep. Such excellent water resistance makes the timepiece highly durable for activities both on and off the track.
Dial
The stunning dial is finished in a vibrant British Racing Green color scheme. It showcases a beautiful sunray-brushed texture that catches and reflects ambient light dynamically.
The chronograph layout utilizes a highly readable vertical tri-compax configuration at 6, 9, and 12 o’clock. Three silver-colored sub-dials create high visual contrast against the green background. These sub-dials feature an elegant azurage texture consisting of concentric circular engraving lines.
Rhodium-plated applied indexes indicate the hours and are filled with white Super-LumiNova for readability. Bright red lacquered detailing coats the central chronograph seconds hand and the sub-dial pointers at 6 and 12 o’clock.
This bright red color scheme is also mirrored around the crown and the top push-button. The iconic shield logo acts as a distinctive skeletonized counterweight on the main seconds hand.
