2024 TAG Heuer Monaco Chronograph Racing Green

In 1969, TAG Heuer's first Monaco chronograph 1133B was born. In the more than half a century since its birth, the Monaco chronograph has been extremely famous and enduring, in addition to its square shape, there are two important reasons. First, it is the world's first square watch with a waterproof capacity of 100 meters, because at that time, making a square waterproof watch not only required a square waterproof rubber ring, but also needed to consider the waterproofness of the crown and chronograph button. Therefore, before Monaco, other square watches did not have the waterproof performance that meets the standards of sports watches.

Second, it is also the world's first square chronograph equipped with an automatic chronograph movement. When it comes to automatic chronograph movements, everyone will instinctively think of Zenith's El Primero, but in fact, TAG Heuer, together with Breitling, Hamilton and other brands, also developed the world's first automatic chronograph movement Calibre 11 using a pearl rotor in the same year. In order to show its importance to this heavyweight movement, TAG Heuer decided to design a chronograph specifically for it, and this watch is Monaco.

The Monaco series has not only gone through countless iterations in more than 50 years, but also launched countless versions, but no matter which version, it can not replace its original appearance. Following last year's Monaco French Racing Blue Chronograph, this year's Monaco Racing Green Chronograph not only has a more eye-catching color scheme, but also allows us to relive the original appearance of the Monaco series. Compared with the current Monaco, the first generation Monaco has two significant features in appearance, namely, the horizontal hour markers on the dial and the crown on the left side of the case.

The reason why the Monaco Chronograph is called Monaco is naturally derived from the Principality of Monaco, a famous F1 event venue, so the Monaco series is naturally inseparable from racing. From the early 20th century to the 1960s, racers' cars were painted in the exclusive colors of their respective countries, such as vibrant red for Italy; silver for Germany; blue for France, and this year's racing green naturally represents the United Kingdom. To echo this design theme, each design element on this watch is inspired by the green, yellow and silver paint of British antique racing cars. The silver sun-brushed dial reminds people of the racing dashboards of the 1920s and 1930s; the yellow stripes and yellow central hands on the 12 o'clock hour markers represent the indispensable yellow embellishment of British racing cars. The other two green subdials not only make the whole watch full of vitality, but also pay tribute to the traditional racing green.
