TAG Heuer Monaco Gulf Special Edition automatic watch blue dial blue leather strap 39 mm

The pitch

The Monaco TAG Heuer turns 53 in 2022. This icon of modern watchmaking began its career with little success before Steve McQueen's fans adopted it for good. Boldly modernised through countless versions, this highly prized watch is getting a complete technological facelift this year, with the Heuer 02 manufacture calibre !

What's new

This Monaco special edition Gulf model pays tribute to the 50th anniversary of the eponymous stable. The most striking novelty of this watch is on the movement side! Equipped with the Manufacture 02 HEUER automatic movement, this is the first time that TAG Heuer has equipped a Monaco Gulf of its famous calibre. This watch with its 39 mm diameter case retains the codes that have built its reputation, while being imbued with the colours of Gulf racing. Its dial and strap are adorned with the colours orange and blue, while the logos of the two Houses are printed and proudly worn by the ensemble.

In brief

This new TAG Heuer Monaco Gulf has a vintage detail on its 12-hour index. As you will have noticed, the 60 index refers to the type of the very famous Porsche 917. It has many times in its history been the witness of the special link between the Swiss company TAG Heuer and motor racing. The Monaco was the first square model to be launched, and its distinctive shape is obviously what makes it so special.
