Tag Heuer Watch Monaco Calibre 11

The Monaco is one of the most legendary timepieces of the past century. It partly owes its reputation to its role as Steve McQueen’s preferred timepiece. However, its style-defining aesthetics and innovative inner workings certainly contributed, too.

The internal mechanism celebrated its launch in 1969 as one of the first automatic chronograph calibers. Equipped with a microrotor, it was also the first-ever movement to tick within a water-resistant case of a square shape. The Monaco Calibre 11 of today faithfully reflects the multifaceted personality of the original.

The case, measuring 39 by 39 millimeters, has a deep-blue dial on which the totalizers follow the quadrangular shape of the case.
