Found this on the website this morning, going to have to see it to really assess it, but from this render I'm really unsure about that green...

Not bad. Is this means we can expect some Aquaracer Chronograph in green as well in near future ?

Green looks a bit. Mucky? Sure they could do a bit better from the colour palette?

Yes, I'm hoping it's going to be a bit brighter in real life.

I did see it in Oxford Street... and it's quite nice, but the dial green is NOTHING like the bezel green. The dial is a very nice blue tinted sunburst green, while the bezel looks like moss.

Also, I heard there is a Heuer 02 Formula 1 coming.... and it's £5k!!!🤨😲

I've added a brief post on this watch here:

https://www.calibre11.com/2020-tag-heuer-formula-1-calibre-16-green-dial-ref-caz2016/

I haven't had the benefit of seeing the watch in person, so was interested in @Aquagraph 's view on the mis-match of the dial and the bezel, but I have to say from the real-life photos on the web that I was able to find, it looked to to my eyes

It looks great in those pictures, but the dial is mossy green the dial is bluey green. A real shame.

"just the right combination of colours to avoid looking like a Christmas decoration." 😁

In pictures this watch looks amazing but have not seen one in any store

This was my most recent purchase, I wanted it because of the British Racing Green heritage it invoked.

The workmanship is fantastic, movements clean and crisp, and it draws attention whenever I wear it as well as being a pleasure to look at.

However, the greens ARE off, the truest green is the bezel as Aquagraph correctly points out and the shade does not match the face. The one imperfection in my amateur opinion.

I would absolutely recommend seeing it before buying it to be sure that you can tolerate the difference in green. I can...but just barely.

Best, M.

Michael, this is the point where you bomb this thread with 10+ photos taken by you in different lights so we can see the beauty 😗
