INDY 500
TAG Heuer’s longtime association with
the world of motorsport
ties back not only to the
watches worn by some of
the sport’s most recognizable drivers, but also to the
trackside timing systems
that Heuer innovated to
move racing forward as
electronic systems were
first entering the sport. To this date, TAG
Heuer deploys transponders, messengers,
photo-finish cameras, wireless data systems and matrix displays to tracks and motorsport competitions all over the world.
Fittingly, as one of the most popular
fine watchmaking brands in America, TAG
Heuer is also the official timer of America’s
most prestigious automotive contest, the
Indianapolis 500, held each May at the
iconic Indianapolis Motor Speedway. As
the only American racing leg of the prestigious Triple Crown of motorsport (the
others being the 24 Hours of Le Mans and
the Monaco Grand Prix), the Indy 500 is
fittingly honored through a special edition
TAG Heuer Formula 1 Chronograph. Featuring a fine brushed stainless steel case and
a bezel with a contrasting polished surface,
the TAG Heuer Formula 1 Indy 500 is powered by a Swiss-made quartz chrono graph
movement capable of timing events to
1/10th of a second accuracy.
