TAG Heuer Monaco Chronograph: A Bold Tribute to Las Vegas

TAG Heuer unveils a vibrant new addition to its iconic Monaco collection, celebrating the energy and boldness of Las Vegas. The latest TAG Heuer Monaco Chronograph (reference CBL218B.FT6236) reimagines the classic design with a striking pink skeletonized dial and advanced watchmaking technology, perfectly blending heritage and modernity.

A Design Inspired by Las Vegas

The watch’s 39mm case is crafted from black DLC-coated grade-2 titanium, offering a contemporary aesthetic and lightweight comfort. Its sandblasted finish emphasizes durability while providing a sharp contrast to the vivid pink opalin counters and accents on the dial. The skeletonized architecture reveals the intricate workings of the Calibre Heuer 02, TAG Heuer’s in-house automatic chronograph movement. Pink lacquered details, including the chronograph hand and column wheel, reflect the vibrancy of Las Vegas and its iconic lights.

TAG Heuer’s decision to incorporate bold colors alongside modern materials results in a design that is both playful and functional. The black calfskin and rubber strap enhances wearability, combining style with practicality, while the folding clasp ensures security during high-energy activities. Hands and indexes coated with light blue Super-LumiNova® provide excellent legibility in various lighting conditions.

Technical Mastery: The Calibre Heuer 02

Powered by the Calibre Heuer 02, this Monaco Chronograph embodies TAG Heuer’s technical expertise. The column wheel and vertical clutch enhance chronograph precision, while the 80-hour power reserve ensures reliability for extended wear. The oscillating weight, visible through the sapphire caseback, is accented in pink to complement the watch’s bold aesthetic. This movement is a testament to TAG Heuer’s ability to innovate while staying true to its watchmaking heritage.

An Icon Reinvented

Since its debut in 1969, the TAG Heuer Monaco has been a cornerstone of motorsport-inspired horology. Its association with Steve McQueen in the film Le Mans cemented its iconic status, and each new iteration builds on that legacy. This pink edition stands out as a modern reinterpretation of a classic, designed for collectors who value individuality and bold self-expression.

Availability and Pricing

Available in TAG Heuer boutiques and online from November 2024, the TAG Heuer Monaco Chronograph is priced at CHF 11,000. With its daring design and technical sophistication, it is a fitting tribute to the dynamic spirit of Las Vegas.
