Stepping up in the same colour and case shape
The Thrill Heritage Line Chronograph is Aston Martin's attempt to translate the visual language of its racing programme into something you wear rather than drive. The dial's grilled pattern references the mesh work seen on the brand's competition cars, and the lime accents on the hands and inner ring are drawn directly from Aston Martin Racing's livery palette — not an approximation of it. At 44mm in layered black PVD steel, it reads large and deliberate, which is appropriate for a watch this busy: three subdials, a 24-hour display and a tachymeter bezel occupy the space without crowding it. The solar movement charges from natural and artificial light alike, meaning the battery question simply goes away, which matters more on a watch you are likely to reach for rather than store.

Learn more about Aston Martin
Aston Martin has built cars since 1913, when Lionel Martin and Robert Bamford set up in London, and the name has carried a particular kind of British grand touring ever since.
The watches are a licence rather than a workshop. Aston Martin does not make movements or cases; it signed a long-term agreement with Timex Group in 2025, with the first watch and jewellery collections arriving that autumn. Timex holds similar licences for several names sold well above its own price point.
What you are buying is the design language rather than the engineering: chronograph layouts, tachymeter bezels and colours lifted from racing liveries, on quartz movements at a price a long way below the cars. Judged as accessible motorsport-styled watches they do that job well; judged as watchmaking they are a licensed accessory, and worth knowing as such.

Frequently asked questions, and things you should know about this watch
Can I swim with it?
Yes. At 100m it is rated for swimming and snorkelling, though not for diving.
Water resistance explainedWill the glass scratch?
Unlikely. Sapphire is second only to diamond in hardness and shrugs off everyday marking.
Sapphire, mineral and acrylic comparedDoes it need a battery?
No. It charges from light, and the cell behind that is designed to last a decade or more.
Quartz, automatic and solar comparedHas the price changed recently?
It's currently at its lowest recorded price since we began tracking it. It's ranged between £250 and £350, today it's £250.
