Our Best Formula 1 Driver Watches | Get the Look
Never before have two worlds collided so beautifully as the world of watches and motorsport racing. High-powered spirit and mechanical expertise are both at the core for the racetrack and the wrist and each is a reflection of exquisite engineering.
Any true watch enthusiast will know - wherever there’s a Formula 1 race, there’s plenty of beautiful watches around. So with the Grand Prix in full swing and after all the excitement and drama of the British Grand Prix (congrats to Ferrari's Carlos Sainz who took his first Formula 1 victory!), we take a look at some of the Formula 1 Driver Watches and brands worn by the hottest racers of the moment, so you can get the F1 look too. TAG Heuer, Hublot and Bremont are firm favourites, but we’ll let you decide who takes pole position…
Max Verstappen - TAG Heuer Monaco
It’s safe to say defending Formula 1 champion Max Verstappen is a TAG Heuer fan. Often seen sporting a Carrera or a Formula 1 TAG Heuer watch, the iconic square-shaped TAG Heuer Monaco appears to adorn his wrist the most. With its legendary status made even more famous when Steve McQueen wore a Monaco in the 1971 racing film Le Mans, it continues to be an incredibly popular choice amongst F1 drivers.
The TAG Heuer Monaco in question is a Monaco Titan Special Edition Chronograph Watch that channels the vintage feel of the original 1969 Monaco watch. Said to be Max’s ‘lucky charm’, only 500 pieces were made of this watch, but you can get the Max Verstappen look with this TAG Heuer Monaco Automatic Chronograph Men's Watch.
The square case and square chronograph dials are truly unique and a style that’s recognised instantly all over the world and an iconic feature of the Monaco collection.
Style tip: The leather strap of this TAG Heuer Monaco gives it a relaxed luxe feel that will be at home in either the bar or the boardroom. We’re especially enjoying this watch with a crisp white shirt and jeans look.
Sergio Perez - TAG Heuer Carrera
Currently holding second place in the driver’s championship and winner of the Monaco Grand Prix, it’s no secret Sergio Perez loves to wear a TAG Heuer. Which iconic collection? It’s the sturdy and reliable TAG Heuer Carrera that has Sergio Perez’s heart and it’s no wonder with its racing heritage and five decades of revolutionary technology.
Get the look with this TAG Heuer Carrera Automatic Chronograph Men's Watch and enjoy the sporty chronograph dials and tachymeter scale bezel. The black and gold touches are a highlight too.
Style tip: The sportiness of this watch cannot be ignored. Give a luxurious edge to your more causal weekend looks with this Carrera watch.
Pierre Gasly - Hublot Big Bang
A clear watch fan, Pierre Gasly is rarely seen without a statement luxury watch on his wrist. A vibrant Hublot Big Bang watch with a bold green strap seems to be his watch of choice and we love the colourful finish.
Channel Pierre Gasly with this striking Hublot Big Bang Unico Titanium & Blue Ceramic Automatic Watch. We love the cool blue finish and the skeleton dial for the ultimate statement piece.
Style tip: This Hublot watch belongs in the boardroom. Style a classic blue suit with this modern blue timepiece for cool blues all round.
Zhou Guanyu - Hublot Spirit of Big Bang
We’re so glad to know Zhou is okay after that horrific crash in the British Grand Prix. He may have a way to go in the driver’s championship, but when it comes to style and luxury watches off the track, Zhou Guanyu is leading the way. Zhou recently shared a few snaps on Instagram of him choosing a Hublot watch and opted for a beautiful Spirit of Big Bang Hublot watch with a skeleton dial to reveal the intricate inner workings of the watch.
Get the look with this Hublot Spirit Of Big Bang Meca-10 Titanium Mechanical Watch. The square-shaped case holds the skeleton dial to reveal the mechanical movement. With an impressive 10 day power reserve and a distinctive curved tonneau-shaped case for supreme comfort on the wrist, this watch is the ultimate in reliability and durability.
Style tip: Such a modern watch needs a modern wardrobe. Style the sleek black strap with a colourful shirt or jacket like Zhou Guanyu for a contemporary contrast.
Nicholas Latifi - Bremont WR-22
Williams’ driver Nicolas Latifi has often been spotted wearing the unique-looking Bremont Supermarine WR-22 Chrono Automatic Men’s Watch, known as the ‘Panda’ for its black and white hues.
The monochrome finish is reflective of Williams’ black and white branding with flashes of Oxford blue for a true statement piece. Bremont are the industry leaders in British luxury watches, making them the perfect partnership for the historically British brand Williams.
Fellow Williams driver Alexander Albon is also said to be a fan of the striking Bremont WR-22 watch.
Style tip: This watch has a classic feel, so style yours with a timeless shirt and suit jacket. Grey tones will complement the monochrome tones beautifully.
Lewis Hamilton - chain jewellery
So we can’t talk about Formula 1 without talking about the icon that is Lewis Hamilton. Taking third position at the British Grand Prix, it’s not his watch collection that’s grabbed our attention. It’s his ultra-stylish and statement-making jewellery collection that we’re in love with.
Men’s jewellery is bigger and better than ever for 2022 and Lewis Hamilton explains why. Get his look by layering multiple chain necklaces or bracelets together and dress up both a casual and formal look with lashings of jewellery.
Style tip: Silver is the must-have metal when it comes to the 2022 chain jewellery trend, but if you really want to stand out, try mixing, matching and stacking with some men’s gold jewellery pieces.
