Introducing New TAG Heuer Monaco Chronograph in a Dark Blue Hue

TAG Heuer is renowned for its association with motorsport, and the TAG Heuer Monaco is an iconic collection that embodies this legacy with the spirit of speed. Launched in 1969, the TAG Heuer Monaco swiftly became one of the most iconic watches in history. Its distinctive square shape and blue dial were unique at the time, and over the years, the collection has seen many stunning releases.

TAG Heuer is now unveiling the TAG Heuer Monaco Chronograph in a new dark blue hue. This modern tribute honors the collection’s historic past and racing heritage with classic motorsport-inspired aesthetics. The new model boasts a sturdy grade-2 titanium sandblasted case, renowned for its lightweight and shock-resistant properties, making it ideal for the rigors of high-speed motor racing. It measures 39 mm in diameter and 15.2 mm in thickness, and is coated with Black DLC. The watch includes a beveled, domed sapphire crystal and a sandblasted black DLC grade-2 titanium screwed sapphire caseback, ensuring 100 meters of water resistance.

The watch’s dark blue hue pays homage to the Principality of Monaco's racing tradition with a modern twist. This color choice nods to the Mediterranean coast, home to one of the world's most prestigious races. The vibrant yellow accents on the hands and indices create a striking contrast, reminiscent of the sparks flying from high-speed racing cars. 

The skeletonized dial features a black 30 minute chronograph counter in a blue opaline disk at 3 o’clock, with a yellow lacquered hand, and at 6 o'clock, there's a small second sub-dial with a rhodium-plated hand, and at 9 o'clock, there's a black 12 hour chronograph counter in a blue opalin disk with a yellow lacquered hand. The hands & indexes are adorned with Super-LumiNova with a light blue glow for enhanced visibility in low light conditions.  Additionally, there's a date window at 6 o'clock, also featuring light blue Super-LumiNova for clarity.

The watch is powered by the Caliber Heuer 02, an in-house automatic movement that operates at 28,800 vph (4Hz) and offers 80 hours of power reserve. The new Monaco Chronograph comes with an embossed blue calfskin leather & rubber strap with a black DLC grade-2 titanium folding clasp, and is priced at CHF 11,000, equivalent to AED 44,200.
