TAG Heuer Formula 1 Indy 500 Special Edition CAZ101V.BA0842

Celebrate a legacy of speed and precision with the TAG Heuer Formula 1 Indy 500 Special Edition CAZ101V.BA0842. Born from TAG Heuer’s enduring partnership with the Indianapolis 500, this watch embodies the adrenaline of motorsport while delivering Swiss-made reliability for everyday wear. Since 2004, TAG Heuer has served as the official timekeeper for the world’s most iconic 500-mile race, and this special edition carries that heritage on your wrist.

At its heart is a Swiss quartz calibre that guarantees exceptional accuracy with a minimal monthly variation. That means you can rely on this timepiece to stay perfectly in sync with your day—whether you’re tracking lap times at a weekend track day or coordinating meetings back at the office.

Design and Engineering tuned for performance

The 43mm case is crafted from polished and finely brushed stainless steel, delivering a bold, race-ready silhouette. The fixed aluminium tachymeter bezel nods to the speedway tradition, providing a crisp visual cue for measuring speed over distance. A scratch-resistant sapphire crystal protects the dial, ensuring legibility in any condition.

The black dial features rhodium-plated indexes for sharp contrast, Super-LumiNova treated hour and minute hands for visibility in low light, and two chronograph sub-dials with a date window at 4 o'clock. A closed case back is engraved with Indy 500 decoration, underscoring its status as a genuine tribute to the race and its history.

Practical tips to get the most out of your Indy 500 Special Edition

Keep the crystal clear and the finish gleaming by wiping the case and bracelet with a soft, lint-free cloth after exposure to sweat or saltwater. The 200-meter water resistance supports swimming and snorkeling, so you can wear it during many water-based activities; just rinse afterward to prevent salt buildup. For accurate timekeeping and simple maintenance, rely on the quartz movement—no frequent servicing required for day-to-day use.
