Wrist Candy of the F1 Elite

2025-06-02 // LuxePodium
High-octane watches worn by F1's finest, from carbon-fiber rebels to titanium titans.

Formula 1 isn’t just about speed—it’s a stage where precision meets panache, and nowhere is that more evident than on the wrists of its drivers and pit crews. These timepieces aren’t mere accessories; they’re mechanical co-pilots, engineered to withstand G-forces and glare with equal flair.

Carbon-Fiber Maverick

The Tudor Black Bay Chrono VCARB edition is a featherweight bruiser, its case carved entirely from carbon fiber like a stealth fighter’s fuselage. The dial? A hypnotic swirl of white and blue, with subdials that look like they’ve been laser-cut from a racecar’s chassis. At its heart ticks Tudor’s MT5813—a movement with Breitling DNA—wrapped in a hybrid strap that’s part tire tread, part Italian leather glove. Limited to 2,025 pieces, it’s a chronograph that scoffs at gravity.

Titanium Underdog

Meanwhile, the AM British Racing Green watch drapes itself in motorsport’s most iconic hue. Its sandblasted titanium case whispers discretion, but the lime-green accents scream “overtake me if you can”. The in-house GP03300 movement inside is a Swiss metronome, beating at 28,800vph—precisely the rhythm of a perfectly timed pit stop. With only 88 examples, it’s rarer than a mistake-free Monaco Grand Prix.
