Wrist icon
Since its foundation in 1969, Monaco has been synonymous with audacity and innovation. Its square form was revolutionary at the time, but today it is a recognizable classic. The new version of the Tag Heuer Monaco Chronograph X Gulf retains this tradition, while bringing freshness thanks to modern materials and technologies.
Design that tells a story
While most watches prefer to stay within the limits of safety, Tag Heuer “breaks the rules” with his square monk for decades. This is not the time for the weak heart. This is a watch for those who prefer to drive at 320 km/h without ABS rather than sitting in an electric SUV with massage seats. The sandblasted titanium case measures 39 mm and gives the clock a robust but elegant aspect. The blue dial with Sunburst finish is decorated with the typical orange and blue strips of Gulf, which continue on the pierced leather strap. Details such as hands and super-luminova indices guarantee excellent readability in all conditions.
A heart that beats with precision
Inside the Tag Heuer Monaco Chronograph X Gulf pulsates the automatic movement of Th20-00 caliber, the result of the internal development of Tag Heuer. This mechanism offers an 80 -hour charge reserve and works at a frequency of 28,800 alternations per hour. In addition to viewing hours, minutes and seconds, it is also equipped with chronograph functions with measuring up to 12 hours and indication of the date.
A tribute to a legend
In the film Le Mans, Steve McQueen wore a Heuer Monaco tag with the Gulf logo on his racing suit. This new version of the clock is a tribute to this iconic image. Every detail, from the combination of colors to the materials, is carefully selected to preserve the spirit of the time, while satisfying the modern quality and comfort standards. The blue dial with orange and blue stripes typical of the Gulf is far from sober. It is like a racing helmet in a room full of evening dresses. But that’s why it works. This watch is here to be seen. And listen. If he had a sound, he would buzz like a V8 with a triple open exhaust.
