History

The original 1986 Formula 1 was the first watch launched under the TAG Heuer name after the TAG group acquired Heuer: affordable quartz, vivid colors, and a tough case — a massive success that introduced an entire generation to the brand.

Nearly forty years later, in 2025, TAG Heuer relaunched the line with the Solargraph series, coinciding with its return as official timekeeper of Formula 1. The recipe updates the '86 codes: a restrained 38mm size, bold colors, and lightweight materials like the bezel's TH-Polylight.

At its heart is the Calibre TH50-00 Solargraph: a quartz movement that converts natural or artificial light into energy, with no battery to replace in normal use. One minute of exposure powers a full day, and a full charge lasts up to 10 months in total darkness.

The WBY1111.BA0042, with its white opaline dial, red flange, and sandblasted steel bracelet, is one of the most restrained configurations in the series. In Cazador's catalog it opens TAG Heuer's entry door below the Carrera, Aquaracer, and Monaco.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a TAG Heuer Formula 1 Solargraph WBY1111.BA0042 cost?

Cazador has no verified price observations for this reference (0 PricePoints recorded as of today). We do not publish estimates without our own sourced market data.

How does the Solargraph calibre work?

It's a quartz movement with a photovoltaic cell under the dial: it converts natural or artificial light into energy. One minute of light gives a day of running; a full charge, up to 10 months.

Does the battery need replacing?

Not in normal use: the accumulator recharges continuously from ambient light. It is not a conventional disposable battery.

What is the bezel's TH-Polylight?

A lightweight, tough polymer material developed by TAG Heuer for the Solargraph series, used on bezels and some cases in the collection.

How is it connected to Formula 1?

The line was born in 1986 on the back of TAG's F1 sponsorship, and the 2025 relaunch coincides with TAG Heuer's stint as the championship's official timekeeper.

Is it suitable for swimming?

Yes, its 100 meters of water resistance comfortably allows swimming, though it is not a dive watch.
