Swiss watchmaker TAG Heuer has introduced three new Monaco chronograph models to coincide with its debut as the first-ever title partner of the Formula 1 Grand Prix de Monaco.
The Monaco Chronograph Stopwatch
Each timepiece draws from the brand’s longstanding connection to motorsport and reflects a unique aspect of its horological innovation.
The Monaco Chronograph Stopwatch is a tribute to vintage Heuer stopwatches of the 1960s and 70s. Designed with legibility and performance in mind, it features a black DLC-coated titanium case, a silver opaline dial with red accents, and the Calibre 11 automatic movement. Its limited run of 970 pieces references the brand’s formative racing decade. Retailing at 9,600 CHF, the model is available from May 2025.
The Monaco Split-Seconds Chronograph
TAG Heuer also introduced the Monaco Split-Seconds Chronograph, marking a leap in material science and complexity. Crafted from TH-Titanium (a proprietary, texturised titanium alloy developed in-house) the watch is powered by the lightweight Calibre TH81-00 movement. Weighing just 86 grams including the strap, the timepiece offers a “rattrapante” function capable of measuring two intervals simultaneously. It includes a sapphire dial and bezel, lime green chronograph highlights, and a sapphire caseback displaying its intricate mechanics. This model retails for 145,000 CHF.
The Monaco Chronograph x Gulf
Completing the trio is the Monaco Chronograph x Gulf, featuring the iconic Gulf racing colours. This edition maintains the square case and left-side crown of the original Monaco but adds a modern twist with a sunray brushed blue dial, rhodium-plated indexes, and light blue and orange highlights. The colour scheme is continued in the calfskin strap, and the watch is powered by the Calibre Heuer 02 movement with an 80-hour power reserve. It is also available from May 2025.
