Green – Inspired By Historical British Racing Cars

The Swiss luxury watchmaker has introduced the TAG Heuer Monaco Chronograph Racing Green, a continuous representation of the racing heritage of TAG Heuer, and a second chapter in the Racing Monaco story. The new TAG Heuer Monaco Chronograph Racing Green joins the TAG Heuer Monaco collection as a celebration of the racing cars and their iconic liveries, this time honoring the British colors.

Racing green, a recognizable shade associated with British motorsports, has a storied history. The first noted car in this color palette was a Napier 50 that won the 1902 Gordon Bennett Cup under Selwyn Edge, leading to the 1903 event being hosted by Great Britain. Modern British racing teams and distinguished car manufacturers continue to use variations of this shade, making it a celebrated color in the world of motorsports and the inspiration for this year’s timepiece.

Every element of the TAG Heuer Monaco Chronograph Racing Green is inspired by historical British racing cars and their white and yellow touches. To echo this theme, the watch boasts a silver sunray-brushed dial for a timeless and elegant look, a subtle reminder of the engine-turned dashboards seen in sports cars of the 1920’s and 1930’s.

The dial is adorned with eight applied, polished and silvered hour markers as well as 12 light green Super- LumiNova® dot markers, facilitating effortless time reading. Notably, a faceted baton marker at 12 o’clock features a vibrant yellow stripe, serving as a direct connection to the chronograph’s yellow central hand and the touches of yellow on these celebrated race cars.

The elegant green subdials feature a vibrant yet sophisticated shade and honor the traditional racing green.

Heritage is also inherent to the watch which features the historic Heuer logo, set to appeal to collectors and watch aficionados alike. In true Monaco DNA, the crown is placed at 9 o’clock, as it was initiated in 1969.

The watch is powered by the automatic chronograph Calibre 11, encased within a sandblasted grade-2 titanium case, allowing for both robustness and lightness, perfect for a sporty feel, and featuring a sapphire caseback, offering a glimpse into the movement inside.

The TAG Heuer Monaco Chronograph Racing Green is fitted with a green perforated strap, for classic British gentleman aesthetics. The strap is secured with a titanium folding clasp, featuring the Heuer logo.

The TAG Heuer Monaco Chronograph Racing Green is a limited edition, its caseback bearing the engraving “ONE OF 1000”. It is presented in a custom- designed black packaging with vivid yellow details.

The perfect watch for the perfect gentleman driver.
