About TAG Heuer Monaco V4 Phantom Watch

The replica TAG Heuer Monaco V4 was unveiled in 2004 and the name V4 is because of the V-shaped main place. This TAG Heuer Monaco V4 Phantom is made out of CMC (Carbon Matrix Composite) which isn’t your regular carbon because the carbon fibres are place in a certain direction in the mould and after that micro-blasted to give it the very unique look of matt black.

The four barrels mounted at the V-shaped main plate is mounted in two adjacent pairs on ball bearings. They are angled at +/-13° which is inspired by the engine in a Formula 1 car. What sets the Monaco V4 apart is that the belt transmission and linear weight moves on a straight rail instead of the usual rotational movement, something TAG Heuer of course have patented.

Every detail counts and the satin-finished hands have titanium carbide coating and is topped of with grey SuperLuminova for great visibility in the dark.
