TAG Heuer Refreshes Solargraph Formula 1 with Pastel Limited Editions for 2026
400 pieces per colour — 2,000 watches in total — make up TAG Heuer’s 2026 Solargraph Formula 1 pastel series. Five sunburst dials, a solar-powered quartz module and a 40 mm steel case put colour front and centre without sacrificing sport-watch DNA.

Pastel power meets solar technology
TAG Heuer has dressed its Solargraph Formula 1 in five pastel tones for 2026: mint green, powder blue, lavender, peach and buttercream. The watches keep the photovoltaic quartz module that defines the Solargraph line, wrapped in a familiar 40 mm Formula 1 case tuned with brushed and polished finishes.
Design and case details
The case measures 40 mm and is stainless steel with alternating brushing and polishing. Each dial gets a sunburst finish, applied indices, broad lumed hands and a framed date at 3 o’clock. A matching anodised aluminium bezel insert completes the visual package. Water resistance is 200 metres and the watches use a screw-down crown — solid, sporty specs for a colourful summer release.
Movement and technical specifications
The movement is TAG Heuer’s solar-powered quartz calibre: a photovoltaic module beneath the dial glass that charges from ambient and direct light. TAG Heuer rates autonomy at up to six months from a full charge and includes an energy-saving sleep mode for storage. Timekeeping sits in quartz territory and a quick-set date keeps daily use straightforward.
“We wanted colours that felt modern but wearable — the Solargraph platform gave us the freedom to be playful without compromising performance,” said an insider involved with the project.
Limited edition details and market positioning
Each colour is limited to 400 pieces — 2,000 watches worldwide — with individually numbered casebacks stamped with a wave motif. TAG Heuer prices the series above its standard quartz Formula 1 models but below mechanical Carrera references, targeting buyers who want a seasonal statement without a mechanical premium. The collection is slated for TAG Heuer boutiques and the brand’s online store in spring 2026 at about USD 1,750.
What this means for buyers
These pastel Solargraphs are a clear play for visibility: colourful, limited-run pieces that photograph well and slot easily into a summer rotation. The solar module gives a green talking point with practical autonomy, while the price keeps the watches within reach of buyers seeking colour and sport-watch credentials. If you want one, plan for spring 2026 and treat this as a seasonal buy rather than a technical investment.
