Celebrating its appointment as the Official Sponsor and Timekeeper of the Grand Prix de Monaco Historique, TAG Heuer presented a new special edition of its iconic Monaco chronograph.
The new partnership reaffirms the special link existing between TAG Heuer and Monaco. In fact, the Swiss brand is also the Official Watch of the Monaco Grand Prix and the Official Watch Partner of the Monaco Top Cars Collection museum.
Unfortunately, the 12th edition of the event - scheduled to take place from 8 to 10 May 2020 on the Monaco circuit - was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic but the ACM event team has already started planning for the next edition.
The new TAG Heuer Monaco Grand Prix de Monaco Historique Limited Edition features a red-and-white colour scheme that immediately brings to mind the world of motor racing.
The small silver historic car logo of the Grand Prix de Monaco Historique can be noticed at the 1 o’clock position on the crimson brushed dial.
The 39 mm x 39 mm stainless-steel case of this model alternates fine-brushed and polished surfaces with a a beveled and slightly domed sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating. It offers water resistance to 100 metres / 330 feet.
Decorated with the Grand Prix de Monaco Historique logo printed on the inside, the transparent sapphire glass of the case back displays the thin Calibre Heuer 02 beating at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz) with a remarkable power reserve of 80 hours. With a total of 168 individual components, this movement includes a column wheel and a vertical clutch.
The new timepiece is packaged in a red watch box that is decorated with a chequered racing flag in a nod to the historic Heuer watch box.
Produced in a limited edition of 1,000 watches, each of which is engraved with its unique number and the words “One of 1000”, the TAG Heuer Monaco Grand Prix de Monaco Historique Limited Edition Ref. CBL2114.FC6486 will be available in the next few weeks. You can sign up at the TAG Heuer web site to be notified as soon it will be possible to order it. tagheuer.com
