Positioned above 6 o’clock is a date display. The cream and black pattern is used for amateur boxing rounds which are shorter in length. The red and black pattern on the inner rotational bezel are calibrated for ‘traditional heavyweight boxing bouts – 15 rounds of 3 minutes’. These include the one-minute rest periods in between each bout of frenetic fighting.

Each of the 15 rounds can be read off the dial. In order to time bouts, the wearer rotates the inner bezel using the crown at 10 o’clock, aligning the start of the first round with the minute hand. The central sweep seconds hand features a lollipop-style counterweight, a detail sympathetic to the original 1957 Ring Master. The time is proclaimed with luminescent, silver-toned, hour and minute hands. The unusual bluish-purple dial distinguishes this watch as special. Another difference between the former Ring Master and its contemporary counterpart is the reference to Muhammad Ali, the greatest boxer of all time, on its dial and case-back. It is wrist-worn, eschews a stopwatch and features a rotatable bezel operated by a crown, positioned at 10 o’clock. However, the modern-day Ring Master is notably different. The former Ring Master of 1957 featured a stopwatch, was hand-held and included several interchangeable rings for different sports. Recently, TAG Heuer unveiled a new Ring Master for today’s wearer. The Ring Master allowed the wearer to see, with just a glance, the elapsed time of a ‘round’ or the time remaining of an intervening one-minute ‘break’. This watch was inspired by the 1957 Heuer Ring Master, a stopwatch featuring interchangeable rings for different sports.
