The Current TAG Heuer Monaco Steve McQueen Calibre 12 Chronograph

The Heuer Monaco,launched in 1969,was almost instantly made famous, because Steve McQueen chose to wear the watch in the 1971 film Le Mans (Replica TAG Heuer Monaco Steve McQueen).

Steve McQueen, as racer wears a blue faced, black strap version of the Monaco. In 1969 the brand was still called Heuer. At present, the same watch is still available, now branded as the TAG Heuer Monaco Calibre 12 Automatic Chronograph CAW2111.FC6183.

To commemorate this historic anniversary, TAG Heuer has republished this iconic blue-dial timepiece in a limited series of 1,000 pieces with an exclusive case back signed by Jack Heuer and engraved in honour of its mythical ambassador Steve McQueen.

Outfitted with the Calibre 11 movement, its other classic features include pushbuttons at 2 and 4 o’clock, crown at 9, counters at 9 and 3, hand-applied date window at 6 o’clock, and diamond-tipped horizontal hours indexes.
