Around back, TAG Heuer equips the Formula 1 Senna Special Edition 2021 with a highly detailed caseback engraving, depicting Ayrton Senna’s familiar racing helmet. Colored gaskets are a relative rarity in the current watch market, but offer a unique “pinstripe” approach to accent color that works handsomely with this particular high-impact colorway. Thanks to the fully matte finish of the case itself, the radial brushing of the ceramic bezel insert stands out sharply in photos, complemented by the bold white tachymeter scale and the eye-catching yellow crystal gasket. The case geometry is sharp and simple, with longish tapering lugs and a distinctive gear-toothed bezel that evokes the classic Calibre 11 Heuer Autavia models. The overall form is shared with the standard quartz Formula 1 chronograph, and like the rest of the line should wear on the larger side on the wrist.

The 43mm stainless steel case of the TAG Heuer Formula 1 Senna Special Edition 2021 is finished with an aggressive, modern bead blasted black DLC coating for a racy and purposeful look in initial images. With a modern blacked-out look, vibrant yellow accents, and prominent nods to Senna’s legacy, the TAG Heuer Formula 1 Senna Special Edition 2021 is a sporty and capable quartz homage to one of racing’s most enduring legends. Limited-run custom tributes to the Brazilian racer have become something of a tradition for TAG Heuer over the years, and for its latest iteration the brand turns its attention to Senna’s iconic yellow racing helmet.

27 years after his tragic passing at the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix, three-time Formula 1 world champion Ayrton Senna is still regarded as one of the greatest racing drivers of all time, and remains one of TAG Heuer’s most important brand ambassadors.
