TAG Heuer Formula 1 Solargraph 38mm pastel models in TH-Polylight and steel with colored dials” />From Racing Icons to Pastel Energy
TAG Heuer’s TAG Heuer Formula 1 Solargraph 38mm pastel collection traces its roots to the first Formula 1 watches of 1986, recognised for composite cases, bold profiles and colour. The new 38mm references revive that spirit with softer tones and proportions tailored for daily wear.
The Formula 1 family remains closely tied to racing, and the Solargraph movement introduced in 2025 brought light-powered technology to the line. In these pastel executions, opalin dials, tonal flanges and coordinated bezels reinterpret classic Formula 1 codes for a design-led audience.
The Solargraph Heart
Each pastel model is powered by the Solargraph Caliber TH50-00, which captures natural and artificial light as its energy source. A short exposure to direct sunlight keeps the watch running for a day and reduces routine battery replacements.
When fully charged in under 40 hours of light, the movement offers up to ten months of autonomy in complete darkness, and brief light exposure is enough to restart it after a stop.
Pastel Dials and TH-Polylight Cases
The pastel series is defined by coordinated colour and material across TH-Polylight and steel executions.
- A beige TH-Polylight execution combines a beige opalin dial, pastel beige bezel and case with a grey flange.
- A pastel blue TH-Polylight model uses a matching dial, flange, bezel and rubber strap, with rhodium-plated hands and applied indexes filled with white Super-LumiNova.
- A sand-blasted steel reference features a pastel blue opalin dial, pastel pink flange, pastel pink central seconds hand and steel bracelet for gentle contrast.
- A pastel pink TH-Polylight version unites pastel pink opalin dial, flange, bezel and rubber strap, with rhodium-plated hands, Super-LumiNova indexes and a white TAG Heuer logo.
TH-Polylight keeps the watches light on the wrist and underscores the pastel aesthetic.
Steel, Diamonds and Refined Details
TAG Heuer complements the TH-Polylight pieces with two sand-blasted steel references featuring diamond-set indexes. The pastel green WBY111B.BA0042 model presents a pastel green opalin dial, matching flange with 60-second scale and a pastel green TH-Polylight bidirectional bezel, with rhodium-plated shield indexes at 6, 9 and 12 o’clock and eight VS diamonds.
The lavender-blue WBY111C.BA0042 reference pairs a pastel blue opalin dial with a pastel pink flange and pastel blue TH-Polylight bezel, also using rhodium-plated shield indexes, eight VS diamonds and a pastel pink central hand. Both models are fitted to sand-blasted three-row steel bracelets with folding clasps, double safety push-buttons and an adjustment link extension.
All five 38mm references share core Formula 1 hallmarks: flat sapphire crystals with anti-reflective treatment, steel crowns at 3 o’clock, screw-down case backs and 100-metre water resistance. Each dial carries FORMULA 1, SOLARGRAPH and SWISS MADE signatures, linking the light-powered movement to TAG Heuer’s motorsport heritage.
