Introducing the TAG Heuer Monaco 1979–1989 Limited Edition “Le Mans”
Appropriate because it is as a result of Steve McQueen having worn the Monaco in his 1971 film, Le Mans that the timepiece truly became a cultural icon.
Of course, as a result of it being one of the first water-resistant square watches and one of the first to be powered an automatic-winding chronograph movement, the Monaco was already bound for horological greatness since it came into being in 1969.
The second special edition launched over the weekend is, therefore, dedicated to 1979–1989. The watch in question is the classic 39mm square steel cased Monaco powered by the modern version of the Calibre 11 automatic movement.
