TAG Heuer Unveils New Monaco Skeleton Chronograph

2024-11-21 // SuperPodium
Discover the latest addition to TAG Heuer's Monaco collection, featuring a skeletonized dial and vibrant pink accents inspired by the lights of Las Vegas.

TAG Heuer's Monaco watches, known for their association with the world of motorsport, continue to be highly popular. The newest addition to the collection is the Monaco Skeleton Chronograph, which showcases a skeletonized dial and bright pink details inspired by the neon lights of Las Vegas.

The Monaco watch has a rich history and has undergone various changes over the years. It gained international fame when Steve McQueen wore it in the 1971 film "Le Mans." Recently, the Monaco has achieved record-breaking prices at auctions, with one model selling for $2.2 million. TAG Heuer also reinforced their presence in Formula 1 through a new partnership.

The Monaco Skeleton Chronograph boasts a 39mm black sandblasted DLC-coated titanium case with a thickness of 15.2mm. The lightweight titanium ensures comfort on the wrist, and the black case visually reduces the dimensions. The beveled sapphire crystal and elongated chronograph pushers are classic features retained in this new model.

The dial of the Monaco Skeleton is a combination of shapes and colors. The black square base hosts a circular minute track with white markings and bold indices. The elongated indices also serve as bridges for the sub-dials, date arrow, and applique logos. These indices are highlighted with bright pink luminescent material, emitting a light blue glow in the dark.

The squared sub-dials, located at 3 and 9 o'clock, are held in place by the elongated pink indices. The outer track of the sub-dials is bright pink and indicated by pink lacquered hands. The numerals inside the sub-dials are arranged linearly, emphasizing the squareness of the Monaco. The date is indicated by a small pink arrow at 6 o'clock.

The movement of the Monaco Skeleton can be appreciated through the window on the caseback. The black openworked rotor, pink column-wheel mechanism, and Geneva striped bridge are visible. This watch is powered by the integrated automatic calibre Heuer 02, which has a power reserve of 80 hours.

The Monaco Skeleton Chronograph comes with a black embossed calfskin and rubber strap and a black DLC-coated titanium folding clasp. It is now available for purchase.
