Made famous
by Steve McQueen in the 1972 film 'Le Mans', the Monaco is one
of TAG Heuer's most iconic designs, hand-picked by McQueen
himself for use on set. To commemorate that golden era of both
horology and motorsport, TAG Heuer developed a special
Gulf-liveried edition of the famous square watch, powered by
the Caliber 12 automatic chronograph movement. As per the
Porsche 917K McQueen drives in the film, this Monaco features
the duck egg blue and orange Gulf colors, which slice through
the retro twin-register Chrono subdial, contrasting against
the dark background. The Gulf logo itself sits on the dial at
six, leaving you in no question that this watch pays its dues
to one of the coolest decades ever.
