Tag Heuer is celebrating the 30th anniversary of the very first victory of Formula One racing Legend Ayrton Senna, with a limited edition offering. TAG Heuer has released two Ayrton Senna limited edition chronographs and one-time-only watch, unveiled at a special ceremony attended by Senna’s niece, Bianca at the inauguration of TAG Heuer’s new boutique in Monaco. Often been voted as the best, most influential Formula One driver of all time, Ayrton Senna won the legendary Monaco Grand Prix for the very first time in 1987. The two limited edition chronographs unveiled are the Ayrton Senna Carrera Heuer-01 and the Ayrton Senna Formula 1 limited edition quartz chronograph. The Ayrton Senna Carrera Heuer-01 limited edition chronograph comes with 45 mm case in black brushed steel with red design accents, skeleton dial and sapphire case back. The movement is the modified Calibre 1887, a proprietary movement which the maison has been using since 2010. The Formula 1 limited edition quartz Chronograph, on the other hand, comes in DLC black colour-schemes highlighted with touches of red; a homage to high speed racing colourways. The chronograph features a Ronda 5040D quartz chronograph capable of timing up to a vaunted tenth of a second. AS for the one time only edition, it comes with a dial featuring three red lines, hinting at the tracks left by a speeding race car. All three watches display the famous stylised red lacquer “S” – an exclusive Senna symbol, on the dial and bezel. The bezel also has a minute track, lending the pieces a racing feel.
