The fitting debut of these exciting new watches in Monaco marks the first time TAG Heuer uses a skeleton dial in its Monaco collection.

Introduced in 1969, the TAG Heuer Monaco quickly became one of the most iconic watches in history. Its bold, square case design and innovative chronograph functions were unlike anything else on the market then, and quickly became synonymous with the brand, gaining a following among racing enthusiasts and watch lovers alike. Since its creation, the watch has appeared on the wrists of many racing icons such as Joe Siffert, Jochen Rindt, and a true friend of the brand, Steve McQueen, who famously wore a TAG Heuer Monaco in the 1971 film “Le Mans,” and whose watch became synonymous with his style.

Today, the TAG Heuer Monaco remains one of the brand’s most iconic and recognizable models. It has been released in various limited-edition versions, paying tribute to the watch’s history and connection to motorsports and becoming a timeless and beloved timepiece. With the brand’s ambition to always push innovation and design to new limits, the TAG Heuer Monaco skeleton dial watch is now the perfect next step and testament to the brand’s avant-garde mentality.

The new Monaco Skeletons offer a technical and rugged appearance thanks to their sandblasted titanium grade 2 case. Being a high- performance material, titanium offers a remarkable blend of strength and lightweight properties while also being corrosion resistant and has become a signature element of the brand.

The pieces have been meticulously crafted to embody technical excellence with thorough attention to detail. Amongst its notable features is also the innovative bi-material strap, thoughtfully designed with a combination of rubber and leather for optimal comfort and style. These straps come in black or blue respectively, adding to the watches’ overall racing appeal.

TAG Heuer’s re-imagination of this iconic timepiece offers a fresh perspective and a great addition to the beloved Monaco collection.
