TAG Heuer designed the Formula 1 Indy 500 2020 Special Edition chronograph to commemorate 16 years as the Official Timekeeper of the NTT IndyCar Series and the 104th Indianapolis 500 race. Known as one of the oldest automobile races and part of the famous Triple Crown, the Indy 500 is held at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in Speedway, Indiana and is one of the most-attended single-day sporting events in the world.
Designed in collaboration with the IndyCar team, the 43 mm chronograph honors the long-standing partnership with a brick motif on the dial, a reference to the racetrack’s “Brickyard” nickname. The black dial also features three sub-dials: 3 o’clock permanent second indicator, 6 o’clock hour chronograph counter and 1/10th second chronograph counter embellished with the Indy 500 logo, and a 9 o’clock minute chronograph counter, with a date window at 4 o’clock. The Indy 500 logo is displayed on the 6 o’clock sub-dial with “Indy 500” engraved in red on the ceramic bezel.
The quartz-powered TAG Heuer Formula 1 Indy 500 2020 Special Edition ($2,100.00) is water resistant to 200 meters and highly shock resistant. Just in case you’re overtaken by the need for speed, the chrono comes on a durable black rubber strap that easily fits over a racing suit. Available now from tagheuer.com.
