Tag Heuer Monaco

Why We Love this Watch

The TAG Heuer Monaco CAW211P is the modern reissue of one of the most iconic chronographs in watchmaking history. Originally launched in 1969, the Monaco was the first square, water-resistant automatic chronograph, instantly recognised for its bold geometry and pioneering use of the Calibre 11 movement. Immortalised on the wrist of Steve McQueen in the 1971 film Le Mans, the Monaco became a symbol of motorsport cool — rebellious, daring, and unmistakably distinctive. The CAW211P pays faithful tribute to that original reference 1133B, featuring the blue sunburst dial, white sub-registers, left-side crown, and vintage Heuer logo. It’s not just a timepiece; it’s a slice of racing heritage — a design that broke all the rules and still looks effortlessly avant-garde half a century later.
