TAG Heuer has introduced a stunning new edition of its iconic Monaco Chronograph. The latest model, featuring a deep blue dial, pays homage to the brand’s rich history in motorsport while showcasing TAG Heuer’s relentless innovation in watchmaking.
The TAG Heuer Monaco Chronograph has a legacy steeped in speed and style. Since its launch in 1969, the Monaco has stood out with its bold square design, left-sided crown, and striking blue dial. It quickly became a symbol of elegance and precision, beloved by racing enthusiasts and watch collectors alike. The watch’s association with actor Steve McQueen in the 1971 film “Le Mans” cemented its status as an icon of both cinema and automotive culture.
The new Monaco Chronograph continues this legacy with a modern twist. The deep blue theme is a nod to Monaco’s maritime heritage and its famous Grand Prix, one of the most prestigious racing events in the world. The watch’s design features yellow accents on the hands and hour markers, evoking the sparks of high-speed racing cars.
Powered by the Calibre Heuer 02 automatic movement, the Monaco Chronograph offers exceptional precision and a remarkable 80-hour power reserve. Its skeletonized dial provides a glimpse into the sophisticated mechanics within, highlighting TAG Heuer’s commitment to both aesthetic beauty and technical prowess.
The watch’s robust 39mm case is crafted from Grade 2 titanium with a black DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coating, ensuring durability and a lightweight feel, essential for the demands of high-speed racing. The combination of the titanium case and the dark blue rubber and calfskin strap provides both comfort and style, making it suitable for any occasion.
Beyond its striking design and technical features, the Monaco Chronograph celebrates TAG Heuer’s deep-rooted connection to motorsport. This connection is evident in the meticulous design and the high-performance functionality of the watch. From timing some of the world’s most complex races to becoming a favorite among legendary drivers, the Monaco series embodies the thrill and excitement of automotive racing.
TAG Heuer’s dedication to innovation is further reflected in the inclusion of this new Monaco Chronograph face in their Connected watch series, allowing users to experience the heritage and style of the Monaco on a digital platform.
The new TAG Heuer Monaco Chronograph is available from now, with a price point of approximately €11,100. This launch marks another chapter in the storied history of the Monaco collection, blending traditional craftsmanship with contemporary watchmaking techniques.
