MONACO

MEN Watches

The legendary incarnation of the world of motor racing

Worn by the legendary Steve McQueen in the Hollywood racing film, Le Mans, the world’s first automatic chronograph continues to set trends. With its daring square case and rule-breaking technology, the Monaco is a contemporary classic.

In 1969 TAG Heuer released the first automatic chronograph, and broke with tradition by creating the first square waterproof case to house it.
The Monaco became an instant icon on the wrist of legend Steve McQueen in the 1970 film, Le Mans. TAG Heuer continues to break all the rules with the revolutionary Monaco V4, the world’s first timepiece with a belt-driven transmission.
