TAG Heuer is expanding its Monaco model family, which has become an icon in the watch world, with a new version.
Just like last year with the Monaco Titan Limited Edition, TAG Heuer is crowning the start of the Monaco GP this year with a new Monaco model.
The case, measuring 39mm x 39mm, is produced from Grade 2 titanium alloy with a sandblasted surface and black DLC coating. The case, featuring a box-type and curved sapphire crystal on the front and a titanium case back with a sapphire crystal display on the back, is waterproof up to 100 meters.
Offering both a sporty and modern look with its monochrome color palette, the model is home to a sector-style dial that stands out with its different surface forms. 18K 5N rose gold-plated hands and appliqué indices accompany the dial, which hosts shiny surfaces on the inner round part and rough surfaces reminiscent of asphalt on the outside. The red tone used in the chronograph sub-meters adds movement to the dial.
The brand's in-house movement Caliber Heuer 02 beats in the new model. Equipped with an integrated column wheel and vertical clutch chronograph mechanism, the automatic movement operates at a frequency of 4Hz (28.800vph) and offers a power reserve time of up to 80 hours when fully wound.
The model, which comes with a black alligator strap, is fixed to the wrist with a folding clasp made of Grade 2 titanium alloy with a black DLC coating.
The list price for the model, which is available as of May 27, 2022, is CHF 8,000.
