The three-time Formula 1 world champion Ayrton Senna died on May 1, 1994 in a racing accident at the San Marino Grand Prix. The 30th anniversary of the Brazilian legend’s death has already been commemorated by many, but in connection with the next Grand Prix in Sao Paulo this weekend, the topic of piloting is understandable.
We have already written about it in Vezessen and what is related to it, including the fact that the biographical Senna series arriving on Netflix on November 29 also received its first long trailer.
The Swiss watch brand TAG Heuer, closely linked to Formula 1, also used this double opportunity to announce its new model paying tribute to Senna.
Actor Gabriel Leone, who plays the late racer, will wear the TAG Heuer Senna S/EL Link Chronograph S25.706C model worn by Senna for authenticity in the series, but the new model, the TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph Tourbillon x Senna, has a 21st century design and bows with contentment to the former Toleman, Lotus, McLaren and Williams driver.
Carrera, which is one of the most popular and well-known racing chronographs in the world, gets a very modern and sporty appearance this time: the 44 mm, Grade 2, brushed titanium case is topped with a carbon fiber tachymeter bezel with Senna’s logo and name, the dial is skeletonized (skeletonized). , its painting echoes the colors of the Brazilian flag/Senna’s helmet, located at 9 o’clock and the iconic S also appears on the auxiliary dial.

In addition to the most important specifications, on the frame of the back there is the inscription “Limited Edition”, while on the sapphire glass, which gives a glimpse of the Caliber TH20-09 automatic movement equipped with a tourbillon that increases accuracy, there is a portrait of the competitor in a helmet, as well as the logo.
The design of the watch is completed by a green band visible on the crown (the central “winder”) and a blue rubber strap.
Collectors with deep wallets will have to pay 37,000 Swiss francs (HUF 16 million) for the limited edition Senna-Carrera.
