TAG Heuer released the Monaco Chronograph x Gulf

TAG Heuer pays tribute to its legendary racing legacy with the Monaco Chronograph x Gulf, a bold and nostalgic limited edition. This model celebrates both TAG Heuer’s partnership with Gulf and the Monaco’s iconic appearance in the 1971 film Le Mans.

Design Rooted in History

Limited to 971 pieces, the watch features the original 1969 Monaco case layout. Its left-side crown and square profile remain instantly recognizable. The fine-grained silver dial, paired with Gulf’s blue and orange racing stripes, evokes Steve McQueen’s Porsche 917K and racing suit.
