TAG Heuer Reveals Monaco Skeleton Chronograph With Dark Blue Dial And Titanium Case

The TAG Heuer Monaco Skeleton Chronograph now wears a black titanium case and a dark blue dial, accelerating at full speed towards the Monaco GP, which is just around the corner.

Born in 1969 with strong connections to the motorsports world, it is already in 2023 that we see the first iteration of the famous square chronograph with a skeletonized dial, later during the 2024 Watches And Wonders two other much more complex interactions were presented with Rattrapante but with prices reaching the sky.

The version that now arrives wears a Grade 2 Titanium sandblasted case that comes with a black DLC, presenting the traditional dimensions of 39mm wide, 15mm thick and 47.40mm lug-to-lug distance. Domed sapphire crystal, fluted crown at 3 o’clock with the brand’s signature and flanked by two rectangular pushers, sapphire case back and 100m water resistance.

On the open-worked dial, we find dark blue bridges that house a flange with a minute track and three registers, which adds a 30-minute counter, running seconds with a date aperture and a 12-hour register at 3-6-9 o’clock respectively. Two centre hands that, like the hour markers and date window, are filled with Super-LumiNova and finally a yellow chronograph centre seconds hand matching the other two small hands assigned to the chronograph.

At its heart runs the automatic movement Caliber Heuer 02 with column wheel and vertical clutch, which runs 28,800 Vph and offers up to 80 hours of power reserve. It comes decorated with rhodium-plated bridges and a blackened skeletonized rotor with yellow lettering.

The new TAG Heuer Monaco that joins the permanent collection comes attached to a dark blue calfskin and rubber strap with a price tag of CHF 11,000.
