TAG Heuer unveils the Monaco Chronograph Racing Green, expanding the Racing Monaco series

TAG Heuer has unveiled the new Monaco Chronograph Racing Green, a silver and green version of the famous square chronograph. Price CHF8,100

The new TAG Heuer Monaco Chronograph Racing Green joins the TAG Heuer Monaco collection as a celebration of the racing cars and their iconic liveries, this time honoring the British colours. This new release follows the French Racing Blue version presented in 2023.

Named after the legendary principality that hosts one of Formula 1’s most renowned races and instantly associated with Hollywood actor Steve McQueen, who wore the watch in the 1970 “Le Mans” movie (for full details, read our feature article “The history of the TAG Heuer Monaco"), the Monaco has continued to evolve over the years, incorporating new materials, technologies, and design elements. 

The Monaco Chronograph Racing Green boasts a silver sunray-brushed dial with green subdials and is adorned with eight applied, polished, and silvered hour markers, along with 12 light green Super-LumiNova dot markers, enhancing readability in low-light conditions.

A faceted baton marker at 12 o’clock features a vibrant yellow stripe, creating a direct connection to the chronograph’s yellow central hand.

The historic Heuer logo at 12 o’clock and the date aperture at 6 o’clock complete the dial ensemble, well protected by a beveled, domed sapphire crystal.

Measuring 39 mm in diameter and 14.35 mm in thickness, the sandblasted Grade 2 titanium case is distinguished by the crown's unusual position at 9 o'clock, as in the 1969 original Monaco. 

Water resistance is guaranteed to 100 metres / 330 feet.

Visible through a sapphire crystal porthole, the Calibre 11 automatic movement operates at a frequency of 4 Hz (28,800 vibrations per hour) with a 40-hour power reserve.

The watch is fitted with a green perforated strap, secured by a titanium folding clasp featuring the Heuer logo.

A limited edition of 1,000 pieces, as notedin the caseback engraving, the TAG Heuer Monaco Chronograph Racing Green, ref. CAW218E.FC6565, is priced at CHF 9,100. tagheuer.com
