TAG Heuer has unveiled the newest limited-edition timepiece that honors its long-standing partnership with the Indy 500.

In doing so, the LVMH brand will celebrate 18 years as Official Timekeeper of the NTT Indycar Series and the 106th Indianapolis 500 race.

Made in collaboration with the INDYCAR team and race car driver, Alexander Rossi, the 43mm TAG Heuer Formula 1 Indy 500 2022 Limited Edition chronograph has been designed to represent the luxury watchmaker’s passion for the intensity and spirit of motor racing, with motifs inspired by the Speedway.

The Indy 500 logo is engraved in gold on the ceramic bezel with a brick shade of red to line the inner bezel.

The black dial enhances the aesthetic of this model and is complete with three subdials: a 3 o’clock permanent second indicator, a 6 o’clock hour chronograph counter and 1/10th second chronograph counter embellished with an image of the famed Pagoda structure, and a 9 o’clock minute chronograph counter, with a date window at 4 o’clock.

The black grained dial offers an exclusive design, and the steel three rows bracelet easily sizes and fits the watch over a racing suit, thanks to a steel folding clasp with a double safety system and pilot extension.

A special Indy 500 engraving is splashed across the case back, displaying the official emblem and commemorative race date.

The timepiece is a road-tested endurance machine, water-resistant to 200-meters and highly shock resistant.

This action-packed timepiece is limited to 500 units and will be seen on the wrist of TAG Heuer Friend of the Brand and NTT INDYCAR SERIES driver, Alexander Rossi, at this year’s Indy 500 race.
