TAG Heuer Formula 1 Solargraph Calibre TH50-00

Solar-powered sports watch – energy from any light

The TAG Heuer Formula 1 Solargraph Calibre TH50-00 transfers the racing DNA of Formula 1 to a watch that needs no battery changes. The Solargraph Calibre TH50-00 is a quartz movement powered entirely by light: it converts both natural and artificial light into energy and continuously recharges itself in everyday use. One minute of light exposure is enough for a whole day; after less than 40 hours of light exposure the watch is fully charged and then runs for up to ten months in complete darkness. The 38 mm case is deliberately designed for different wrist sizes and, depending on the reference, made of stainless steel or the lightweight TH-Polylight. Shield-shaped quarter-hour markers, rhodium-plated indices and Super-LumiNova ensure clear legibility by day and night. The Formula 1 Solargraph is thus the choice for anyone looking for a sporty Swiss watch that simply keeps running in everyday life.

The Formula 1 – the gateway to the world of TAG Heuer since 1986

The TAG Heuer Formula 1 was the first collection of the newly formed company in 1986 and remains closely tied to motorsport to this day. Coloured bezels, robust cases and a clearly legible dial have defined the series since its very first generation. The Solargraph models take up the design of the original Series 1 and translate it into a modern language of materials – with vibrant colours and a case diameter of 38 millimetres that suits women and men equally well.

The Calibre TH50-00 in detail

The Solargraph Calibre TH50-00 was developed together with the Swiss manufacture La Joux-Perret. Beneath the dial sits a translucent solar cell that draws on any light source – daylight as well as indoor lighting. If the watch has been left in the dark for a long time, around ten seconds of light are enough to set it running again. The energy storage is designed for a service life of up to 15 years. For the wearer, this means: No battery changes, no service appointments to schedule and the accuracy of a quartz movement instead.

Design and craftsmanship

Depending on the reference, the Formula 1 Solargraph combines a stainless steel case with a steel bracelet or a TH-Polylight case with a rubber strap. The bidirectional rotating bezel stays true to the functional character of the collection, while the shield-shaped markers at the quarter hours are a hallmark of the current generation. Selected models feature diamonds set on the dial, shifting the sporty watch towards a piece of jewellery without losing its character.
