Building on the technical experimentation of the TAG Heuer Monaco Flyback Chronograph TH-Carbonspring with its carbon hairspring, the brand now pushes the envelope once again with its latest TAG Heuer Monaco release for 2026 — the TAG Heuer Monaco Evergraph powered by the new and revolutionary square-shaped TH80-00 movement. Read our deep dive on the Calibre TH80-00 here.

TAG Heuer Monaco Evergraph

The Calibre TH80-00 itself is a project several years in the making and tapped on the extensive research and development at the TAG Heuer LAB, the think tank of scientists, engineers and innovators created by TAG Heuer in 2016. Vaucher Manufacture Fleurier, which was also involved in the makings of the Calibres TH81-00 and TH81-01, is also central to this project.

Calibre TH80-00

At the heart of the Calibre TH80-00 is the unique compliant chronograph mechanism developed by the TAG Heuer LAB, one that reimagines the chronograph function and actuation for a smoother, flawless transition between functions. In place of levers and springs traditionally used in the start, stop and reset functions of the chronograph are two flexible bistable components produced using high-precision LIGA technology. One governs start and stop, and the other, reset. Thanks to the precise tuning of the mechanism, the pushers activate smoothly and there is no lag or deviation to the performance of the chronograph over time. In real terms, it translates to a five-year warranty, as no lubrication and less servicing is required.

The movement is also equipped with the TH-Carbonspring oscillator, itself the result of lengthy research to develop a resilient non-metallic hairspring for optimum magnetic resistance and precision. It beats at 5Hz, measuring time to 1/10th of a second, with a power reserve of 70 hours.

The movement bears an inverted construction, which means that the barrel, gear train and TH-Carbonspring balance and escapement are clearly visible on the transparent acrylic glass dial-side of the TAG Heuer Monaco Evergraph. Two fine-brushed, sandblasted bridges hold the barrel and escapement in place at 12 o’clock and 6 o’clock respectively, referencing their split-seconds counterparts in the Calibre TH81-00 at 9 o’clock and 3 o’clock. They also make up a visual symmetry that’s enhanced by the two subdials at 3 and 9 o’clock.

Like the other releases this year, the TAG Heuer Monaco Evergraph pays tribute to the Calibre 11 and the Ref. 1133 with a left-hand crown. Even the tapered silhouette of the case draws from the original watch, albeit with improved ergonomics and elongated pushers. The large exhibition caseback, meanwhile, shows off the signature finishes with the checkered flag motif and oscillating weight in the shape of the TAG Heuer shield.

There are two executions of the TAG Heuer Monaco Evergraph, both in 40mm: in titanium with blue accents referencing the iconic Ref 1133, and a stealthy black DLC-coated titanium version, complete with black DLC-coated bridges and bold red accents that channels TAG Heuer’s racing DNA.

TAG Heuer Monaco Evergraph

More than half a century after its debut, the TAG Heuer Monaco stays true to its origins in both design and spirit, as evident in these latest 2026 releases. The TAG Heuer Monaco Evergraph, in particular, is a striking example of how it continues to evolve in tandem with TAG Heuer’s watchmaking ambitions and search for chronometric precision. Indeed, even as the new-generation TAG Heuer Monaco Chronograph honors its racing connections and is reimagined for a new generation, the TAG Heuer Monaco Evergraph races ahead in its quest to master time.

For Formula 1 fans, and indeed in the public imagination, Monte Carlo has long been the most romantic, most challenging and most spectacular motor race of them all. And like its namesake, the story of the TAG Heuer Monaco, too, is one of romance on the grid, of rising to the challenges of keeping time, and lastly but perhaps most of all, of spectacular innovations.
