Tag Heuer’s Monaco collection has consistently won prestigious design award and thus became a must-have for trend-setters, watch connoisseurs and designers.
To celebrate its 150th anniversary and to enrich its motor-racing traditions Tag Heuer has created another timepiece – the unique Tag Heuer Monaco Vintage Calibre 11 Chronograph special edition.
Devotees of the Tag Heuer’s style will be glad to find the same classic square shape and common placing of the chronograph dials.
But at the same time, Tag Heuer has prepared a surprise – the color. Now you will notice the dial in grey, which complements steel case of the timepiece, brushed and polished perfectly as usual. Really, grey is the best color for sporty design and for emphasizing such details as the racing red on the luminescent hands, eye-catching horizontal placement of the indexes.
Chronograph seconds are at 3 o’clock, minutes are at 9 o’clock. Their sub-counters also have amazing black dials and rhodium-plated hands. Tag Heuer logo at 12 o’clock completes the watch design, and the polished crown at 9 adds another special touch.

As I have mentioned Tag Heuer Monaco Vintage Calibre 11 Chronograph is a limited edition. The horology house decided to produce 1860 pieces of the Tag Heuer Monaco Vintage Calibre 11 Chronograph. This was made to pay attention to the company’s birth in the same 1860 year.
