The central seconds hand, the hands of the hour counter and the 60 seconds/minute scale on the outer edge of the dial are also presented in a striking red lacquer finish.

TAG Heuer F1 Series Mario Kart Limited Edition (Tourbillon Chronograph)
TAG Heuer F1 Series Mario Kart Limited Edition (Tourbillon Chronograph) is a high-end watchmaking work launched this time, limited to only 250 pieces.
The slightly larger 45mm case is crafted from high-performance grade 5 titanium with alternating fine-brushed and polished finishes for a sporty, refined look. The crown and pushers are made of fine-brushed stainless steel, the screw-down case back is made of grade 5 titanium, and the sapphire glass is decorated with a custom “Mario Kart” logo. The precise Heuer 02T tourbillon movement can be seen at a glance. The “XXX/250” number is also engraved on the case back.
The black polished ceramic bezel is equipped with a tachymeter scale with a maximum value of 400 km/h, and the “Mario Kart” logo in the upper right corner is coated with white Super-LumiNova® fluorescent material. The crown and pusher at 2 o’clock are decorated with a red lacquered ring, and Mario’s “M” symbol also stands out on the crown.
The dial of the replica watch adopts a sophisticated and complex black hollow design, which contrasts sharply with the classic red of the cutout, which enhances the three-dimensionality and vitality of the dial, and echoes the central second hand and the 60 seconds/minute scale on the outer edge of the dial.
The dial has a tri-compax layout: a grained subdial at 3 and 9 o’clock, with the tourbillon at the center at 6 o’clock. At 12 o’clock there is a gear pattern reminiscent of the rim of a racing tire. The tourbillon cage, in alternating finishes, outlined in Super-LumiNova®, has been completely redesigned to show Mario driving a kart, Spiny Shell and Cannonball Assassin rhythm with this complication nonstop.
Both timepieces are paired with a black calfskin strap, contrasting with red stitching and lining, and finished with custom embossing. The folding clasp of the chronograph and tourbillon chronograph models are made of stainless steel and titanium, respectively, and are also decorated with the personalized “M” symbol. Both replica watches come in a specially developed black case with a matching travel case.
