As the newest members of TAG Heuer’s Senna collection, these models follow a familiar blueprint: the Senna-marked bezel, racing chronograph layouts, and two movement options, just as we’ve seen in previous releases. Given Senna’s nationality—and the fact that these watches are launching just days ahead of the São Paulo Grand Prix—the green and yellow color choice makes sense. Still, when I think of Senna, the red and white of his McLaren era are the colors I associate with him most. Thus, I still prefer the 2022 red-dial Formula 1 Senna edition—if I’m getting a watch tied to Senna, it just has to be red.
The partnership has spanned over three decades, with Senna officially joining TAG Heuer as an ambassador in 1993 for the 1994 season, choosing the TAG Heuer S/EL chronograph as his daily watch. This makes the bracelet choice on the 43mm model feel like the most authentic link to him. It’s also my favorite of the two.
At the end of the day, though, it’s nice to see a continuation of Senna’s legacy, and TAG deserves credit for keeping one of their greatest partnerships alive in a way that still feels modern for F1 and Senna fans.
