TAG Heuer Monaco Skeleton Chronograph

TAG Heuer has announced three new Monaco models as part of this week's Monaco F1 Grand Prix.

TAG Heuer, which has maintained its organic connection with motorsports since the day it was founded, continues to add new versions to the classic model families positioned under this concept. Monaco, one of the collections inspired by the brand's history, especially with F1 races, is expanding with three new references introduced within the scope of the Monaco F1 Grand Prix this week. The collection, which is arguably the most iconic square watch in the world of luxury watchmaking, dazzles with three new models that blend its classic lines with modern technologies.

The new models come in a classic Monaco-style case measuring 39mm x 39mm x 14.7mm. The iconic case, which we are familiar with in terms of design, is offered in two different options, Grade 2 titanium and Grade 2 titanium with black DLC coating. Let's underline that it is a very appropriate material choice in terms of comfort for the case, which makes itself felt on the wrist with its bulky structure as well as its weight. The case, which has a box-type sapphire crystal on the front and a sapphire crystal display on the back, also offers resistance to water pressure up to 100 meters.

The models that stand out with their modern designs host micro-sandblasted dials. The dials, which are available in black, blue, and gray options, feature chronograph counters prepared in contrast tones selected following the color palette. The dials with curved indices and faceted hands promise sufficient legibility even in low-light environments thanks to their Super-LumiNOVA phosphor-filled components.

The new models are powered by the Caliber Heuer 02 movement, designed and produced by the brand in-house. Heuer 02, which is among the modern movements of the TAG Heuer caliber family, includes time and date functions as well as an integrated chronograph with column wheel and vertical clutch. The caliber, which oscillates at a frequency of 4Hz (28.800vph), impresses with its 80-hour power reserve when fully wound.

Interpreting the Monaco concept from a different perspective with their modern designs, the models are available with embossed black or blue calf leather straps as well as rubber straps. All straps are secured to the wrist with a folding clasp made of Grade 2 titanium with a micro-sandblast finish. The reference and price information for standard (non-limited production) models are as follows;
