Fifty years ago, in 1968, the Ford GT 40, with an orange and blue Gulf Oil paint job, won its first victory in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Today, in conjunction with the start of Le Mans, TAG Heuer has announced two new Gulf edition watches. One is the Formula 1 Gulf Special Edition, and the other is a 50-piece Monaco Gulf Limited Edition.

The Formula 1 Gulf Special Edition comes in a 43 mm case and is powered by a quartz movement, with a blue and orange color scheme and the Gulf logo engraved on the caseback.

The Monaco Gulf Limited Edition comes in a 39 mm square-shaped case and is powered by a mechanical movement. The blue and orange colors and a Gulf logo are seen on the dial, and the caseback features the Gulf’s anniversary emblem and is engraved with the individual number XX/50.

The retail price of the Formula 1 Gulf Special Edition is $1,600, and the Monaco Gulf Limited Edition is $6,350.
