TAG Heuer revisits roots with the new Monaco Calibre 11 Chronograph
The TAG Heuer Monaco Calibre 11 Chronograph takes precedence from its iconic predecessor, the Monaco 1969, which became famous for its Chronomatic Calibre 11, the first automatic chronograph movement offered for sale in the history of watchmaking. The 39 mm size, the crown on the left, the legendary petroleum blue dial with two white counters, the date window at 6 o'clock, the diamond-polished horizontal hour indices, the inscribed vintage Heuer logo, the calibre 11 automatic chronograph with date and water-resistance to 100 metres are all attributes of the Monaco. Meanwhile, the new edition boasts updated features including the two rectangular push-pieces at 2 and 4 o'clock, the slightly larger lugs, its perforated calfskin strap, the sapphire crystal and an open case-back which reveals the gears of the calibre.
