F1 Austin: Tudor’s Racing Bulls Chrono Is the Coolest Watch You’ll Never Own

Austin weekends always bring a bit of chaos. Noise, heat, and cowboy boots take over the paddock as Formula 1 rolls into town. This year, Tudor and the Visa Cash App Racing Bulls added something unexpected — two cars, two watches, and one of the boldest collaborations on the grid.

Before we dive in, a quick note for collectors: you can bring the same stealth-and-carbon look to your own Tudor with our Tudor-compatible straps, built to fit the Black Bay Chrono, Black Bay 58, and other models.

A Livery Worth Talking About

For the 2025 United States Grand Prix, the Racing Bulls revealed an Austin-only livery that blends black, brown, and gold into a tortoiseshell swirl. Under the Texas sun, it’s less racing paint and more sculpture.

Each car carries gold detailing and white highlights to tie in with the team’s suits — and now, the watches.

Two Watches. Two Drivers. Nothing for Sale.

Tudor made just two Black Bay Chrono Carbon 25 pieces, one for Liam Lawson and one for Isack Hadjar. Each one matches the livery perfectly, with a dial patterned like the car’s carbon shell.

The 41mm carbon case keeps it feather-light, while the gold accents echo the livery’s detailing. The snowflake hands and matte black finish tie it back to the brand’s racing heritage.

No retail edition, no reissue — just two prototypes that might end up as legends.

Why It Works

It’s not about rarity. It’s about alignment. The Racing Bulls livery and Tudor’s Carbon 25 share the same spirit: performance design that isn’t afraid of flair.

The combination reminds collectors what drew them to Tudor in the first place — mechanical grit dressed up with taste.

For Everyone Else: The Strap Edit

While those driver exclusive pieces will never hit shelves, you can still bring that same attitude to your own Tudor.

Our Tudor compatible straps draw from motorsport design:

• Green Suede Leather Strap for a soft contrast against darker cases.
• Fabric Racing Strap inspired by classic pit-lane webbing.
• Brown Suede Strap that mirrors the Austin tortoiseshell tones perfectly.

Each one is designed to fit modern Tudor watches, offering texture and colour that match the energy of a race weekend.

Tudor and F1: Still the Best Fit in the Paddock

This isn’t just a sponsorship. Tudor and the Racing Bulls make sense together. Both brands blend precision with risk. They know that timing and attitude count equally.

The Austin drop proves it. The livery dazzles, the watches disappear in two seconds, and the story travels far beyond the paddock.

A Weekend to Watch

As lights go out at Circuit of The Americas, two drivers will be wearing the only Tudors like them in existence. The rest of us get to admire from afar — and maybe, quietly, start thinking about our own carbon chronos and racing straps.

This is the kind of collaboration that turns noise into culture.
