Legendary TAG Heuer Monaco Heuer 02

The TAG Heuer Monaco Heuer 02 is the first watch in its history to be equipped with a self-produced movement. It has been a pioneer in the watchmaking industry since its inception in 1860. TAG Heuer was acquired by LVMH in 1999 and became a part of LVMH's huge business. TAG Heuer insists on creating precise timing tools and exquisite watches, creating a series of models of noble watches, and becoming the top five luxury watch brands in the world with the Swiss avant-garde style.

The TAG Heuer Monaco replica watches is legendary. Created in 1969, this model was the world's first waterproof automatic chronograph with a square case. In 1970, American actor Steve McQueen wore a Monaco watch in the classic Hollywood racing movie "Le Mans", and TAG Monaco quickly became one of the most famous sports watches in the world. In July 2012, one of the Monaco watches worn by Steve McQueen sold for a staggering $650,000 at the Hollywood Memorabilia auction, further cementing its legendary status.

TAG Heuer Monaco Heuer 02 contains all the elements of the Monaco series. This version of the case still has the striking square case design, and even with the larger movement running inside, it still measures 39mm x 39mm. The bezel is still satin-brushed vertically, the tops of the lugs are still polished, the sides are also satin-brushed, and the exposed chamfered sapphire crystal is also meticulously treated. The watch is paired with a navy blue alligator leather strap with gorgeous blue stitching and a stainless steel folding clasp. The waterproof rating is still 100m.

In addition to this, the Monaco Heuer 02 also features a small seconds function, arranged at 6 o’clock, with only a crosshair. Offers an impressive 80 hours of power reserve.
