The story of the TAG Heuer Monaco traces back to 1969 when it debuted as a groundbreaking square-cased watch with 100m water resistance. Powered by the iconic Calibre 11, the Monaco quickly became a trailblazing chronograph in the world of sports replica watches. Its ascent was propelled significantly by its appearance in Steve McQueen’s 1971 film “Le Mans” and Jack Heuer’s strategic collaboration with his friend and F1 driver Jo Siffert.

The present iteration, the TAG Heuer Monaco Twenty Four Calibre 36 Gulf Edition, is driven by the high-performance Calibre 36, a variation of the renowned Zenith El Primero 400 movement. Launched in 2009, this watch boasts a stainless steel case coated in black titanium carbide, offering both durability and a sleek aesthetic.

Designed as a tribute to racing, the Monaco 24 features distinctive elements that evoke the adrenaline-fueled atmosphere of motorsports. The dial prominently showcases a large “24” numeral, reminiscent of the famed 24 Hours of Le Mans race. A vibrant orange and blue stripe pays homage to the colors of the Gulf Porsche 917, famously driven by Steve McQueen in “Le Mans”.

The dial is equipped with two recessed sub-dials, each with double-sided hands for precise timing. At the 6 o’clock position, a dedicated GMT aperture adds functionality for globetrotting enthusiasts. A notable design innovation is the suspended dial and movement, supported by four shock absorber arms, enhancing both aesthetics and durability.

Visible through the sapphire caseback, the movement features a rim-like oscillating weight, further accentuating the watch’s racing-inspired design. Completing the ensemble, a black alligator leather strap with orange stitching is secured by a titanium deployment buckle, ensuring both style and comfort.
