The iconic TAG Heuer Monaco collection revisits its origins with a new and exclusive release to mark the prestigious Monaco Grand Prix. Designed to delight racing fans and lovers of fine watchmaking alike, we explore the details of TAG Heuer’s Monaco Titan Special Edition.
The TAG Heuer Monaco Titan Special Edition is a sporty, understated and lightweight model inspired by the collection’s connection to motor racing. Fused with bold modernity, the Monaco Titan is an icon of cool that solidifies the art of TAG Heuer watchmaking.
A Homage to the Grand Prix de Monaco
Named after one of the most glamorous races in the world, TAG Heuer first produced the Monaco in 1969, creating an icon that would make a mark on its own and future generations. Instantly recognisable, its bold and daring design was radical in every aspect with a blue metallic dial, red hands, and square-shaped waterproof casing that housed the first-ever automatic chronograph movement.
Jack Heuer ensured the name Monaco left nothing to chance, creating a legend in the world of horology. He considered the precision of motorsport a natural fit for a chronograph, crafting a powerful tool that remains the official watch and timekeeper of the Formula One Grand Prix de Monaco and Classic Grand Prix de Monaco Historique.
The TAG Heuer Monaco Titan Special Edition
The story continues today with a brand new interpretation – the TAG Heuer Monaco Titan Special Edition. Going above and beyond the norm, this model opts for titanium, a material rarely used in the Monaco collection. Renowned for being both exceptionally light and tough, the casing is made of grade two titanium and refined by sandblasting for a matte finish that gives the timepiece a raw beauty. Accompanied by a complementary silver-coloured dial, contrasting sub-dials, indexes and hands maximise visibility while enhancing the collection’s signature courageous character.
Equipped with a modern version of the famous calibre 11 automatic chronograph movement, this reinterpretation combines all the technology and expertise of TAG Heuer, celebrating heritage and legacy for a contemporary edition of excellence.
