I saw a really bad picture of that F1 a while back, but now I can actually see it it looks okay.

 

[Hubert]

I like both of them; I think TH did a good job for this year's editions.

 

[TonyStark]

Good to see some 'meaningful' limited editions released across the more affordable models

 

[El Matarife]

Ah yes, the 103rd year, that most meaningful of anniversaries

The Motorspeedway logo looks a little like a moustache on those designs!

 

[TonyStark]

Ha I was referring to the incorporation of the Indy logo - something that's smashed prices through the roof on some vintage models - onto an affordable limited edition - is something that collectors into motorsport and heuer history should appreciate.

Better than stamping a city name or a football club on the cashback!

Definitely, not everything needs to be a Heuer 01!

FYI - The Carrera is £3850 and the F1 is £1350.

Anyone else see the irony of an IndyCar logo on a Formula 1 watch

It does not have to make sense as long as there is money to make

True. Personally I prefer F1 but the company I work for is the largest cooperate sponsor to Indy so I love them too. Every now and then I’m invited to attend a race. I’m still looking for the perfect Indy 500 watch to wear to the events. So I wear my Monaco instead

How come the F1 gets a nicer box?

More elegant, but probably less quality. I'm not a fan of either boxes. The Carrera edition is OK, but not compelling enough to make it a "must buy".

All this talk of the 500 made me this of this(long weekend watching quali too), can’t remember when it last saw daylight, stopped smoking in 95’.
