TAG Heuer is turning heads with the latest addition to its legendary Monaco Chronograph lineup, and this time, it’s going green - literally.
In a nod to the rich history of motorsport, the Swiss luxury brand has unveiled the Monaco Chronograph Racing Green, a fresh take on its classic timepiece.
But don’t expect the usual red and blue racing colors; instead, this edition celebrates British racing heritage, drawing inspiration from Selwyn Edge’s landmark victory at the 1902 Gordon Bennett Cup. With its striking green dial and signature square case, TAG Heuer adds a touch of British elegance to its Formula One legacy.
But with only 1,000 pieces available worldwide, this watch might be hard to snag. Don’t worry though, we’ve got some great alternatives that won’t leave you green with envy!
The TAG Heuer Monaco is a true legend in the watch world, celebrated for its striking square case and deep ties to motorsport. First launched in 1969, it made history as the world’s first automatic chronograph housed in a water-resistant square design, setting a new standard in watchmaking. Its unmistakable style was famously worn by Steve McQueen in the classic film Le Mans, which solidified its status in horology, and embedded it in pop culture.
Over the years, the Monaco has evolved while maintaining its identity, becoming synonymous with racing heritage and innovative design. The watch captures the spirit of speed and precision, making it a favourite among motorsport enthusiasts and collectors alike. Today, it offers a range of options, from the timeless classic blue to limited-edition versions like the Chronograph Racing Green.
What truly sets the Monaco apart is its perfect blend of vintage charm and modern performance. Featuring precise Swiss movements, these watches ensure reliability and accuracy, while their striking aesthetics make them stand out on any wrist. Whether hitting the racetrack or simply stepping out for a night on the town, the Monaco adds a touch of sophistication and edge to any outfit. The TAG Heuer Monaco isn’t just a watch; it’s an icon that embodies the thrill of racing and the artistry of watchmaking.
