TAG Heuer has been the Official Timekeeper of the Indianapolis 500 since 2004. The annual race is one of the oldest in the world with the inaugural event held in 1911. Approximately 300,000 spectators watch the race live, which is considered the largest gathering for a sporting event. Nicknamed the Brickyard since the original track was built with over three million bricks (following an earlier gravel-and-tar surface that notoriously broke up and caused fatal accidents), the Indianapolis Motor Speedway is a 2.5-mile oval circuit now paved with modern asphalt.

The strap is unchanged from the standard model, being a race-inspired perforated black calfskin leather with red stitching. It complements the dial well and really completes the racing vibe. The strap features a polished stainless steel folding clasp.

The TAG Heuer Carrera Indy 500 Special Edition retails for EUR 4,350 (slightly more than the standard model at EUR 4,200) and will be available worldwide. A second watch, the Formula 1 Indy 500 Special Edition, is launching beside the automatic and features a larger 43mm case and quartz movement (EUR 1,500). Both watches will be packaged in limited edition boxes. More information can be found at www.tagheuer.com.
