I love how the hour markers are also pink. Does this have bi-colored lume? Or is it not lumed at 12, 9, and 6?

I’ve been wearing a lot of vintage watches lately, so it’s time for a change. I ended up grabbing a vintage reissue out of the box this morning.

I guess you can say it has bi-coloured lume

Pink lume on the hour hand does not shine effectively at all which is a bit of a shame

Because Senna saved Erik Comas's life in '92 during qualifying? That's what stands out in my memory.

The other thing I recall was Senna's win at Belgium in '88. Which seemed like a turning point in the championship. Prost even concedes that Senna should win the WDC in the post-race interviews. A bit early for such a statement, as there were 5 races left and Prost still had a reasonable chance.
This video also reminds me of how friendly they were that year, before things turned sour the following year in '89. Prost calls Senna a "nice guy".

What happened to the TH logo?
To my best knowledge it is a early prototype of the never released Tag Heuer Edge. It has no logo on dial, crown or caseback, nor does it have the logo on bracelet and the clasp are not labeled BA0250. But it has the signed movement, and exept from the missing logos, everything else is 100% the same as those few factory mounted with logo. I have a blue chrono as well without logo.

See attached photo for comparison between the asumed factory mount chrono and the prototype.

👍

No, it’s because a personal memory: it was in Spa-Francorchamps ‘93 where I met Ayrton during an exclusive interview. My mother and me were working for a car magazine at that time (as a journalists and photographers), and we went there because his personal assistant, Betise Assumpção, was able to book us an hour with Ayrton after the practice sessions in Spa to interview him (just Ayrton, my mother, and me, at the Marlboro motorhome).

I have very fond memories of that interview and of meeting him in person. He exceeded my expectations, and I already had a very good opinion of him 👍 He was really kind to us, and I was surprised by his humility… the complete opposite of the arrogance that other F1 drivers show after winning Titles… or even without having won any.
