The 38mm case reimagines the style on the wrist with more compact proportions. Both limited-edition models share a highly consistent visual identity. A grey dial sets a refined tone, accented by an orange-and-red minute track that creates a striking visual contrast. The design is clean and pure; color serves not merely as decoration but as a functional element for clear information display. The case structure draws inspiration from the original TAG Heuer Formula 1 series; while retaining the iconic silhouette, the proportions have been optimized to showcase the classic collection's contemporary spirit in a more refined size.

The bidirectional rotating bezel encircling the dial features the signature "Daisy" pattern and is crafted from TH-Polylight material. This innovative material combines exceptional durability with lightness, offering a unique tactile experience. The bezel frames the watch's profile and operates with smooth precision, further underscoring the brand's deep-rooted heritage in professional timekeeping and measurement.

A date window at 3 o'clock integrates naturally into the layout, maintaining the dial's visual balance. The hands echo the classic design of the original TAG Heuer Formula 1 series—including the iconic hour hand shape—fully embodying the collection's enduring design language. Their clean contours ensure intuitive, at-a-glance readability. Applied hour markers are coated with eggshell-colored Super-LumiNova®, ensuring excellent legibility in varying lighting conditions, including low-light environments. Iconic shield-shaped markers at 6, 9, and 12 o'clock serve as consistent visual elements, unifying the dial structures of both timepieces.

The first limited-edition model is restricted to 1,500 pieces worldwide and features a rubber strap, upholding the pure racing DNA of the sport. The second model is limited to 1,000 pieces worldwide and comes with a three-row stainless steel bracelet, interpreting racing aesthetics with a more modern flair. Both timepieces come in a dedicated presentation box featuring the inscription "TAG Heuer Formula 1 Limited Edition" on the interior.

Powered by the Solargraph solar movement, the watch efficiently converts natural and artificial light into a virtually limitless energy source. Just one minute of exposure to sunlight is enough to power the watch for a full day. It reaches a full charge after 40 hours of light exposure, and the stored energy is sufficient to keep it running for up to 10 months, even in total darkness. Should it stop running, a mere ten seconds of light exposure is enough to restart it. The energy storage unit boasts a lifespan of 15 years, ensuring long-lasting reliability https://www.captainthewatch.is/.
