In 1969, something changed forever. TAG Heuer released the first automatic chronograph in a squared waterproof case. This alone was enough to attract attention and make the TAG Heuer Monaco an instant icon but the company decided that it needed more. On the wrist of the legend Steve McQueen, the watch became a star in the movie Le Mans and it was clear that it was here to stay. With a designed straight out of the motor world, the TAG Heuer Monaco is a classic luxury watch that is desired by every collector in the world.

The style is not the only thing that TAG Heuer wants to change with the Monaco collection but also the way a simple watch works. The Monaco V4 is the first watch that has a belt driven transmission. No, it is not a car, but a watch that has belts and a linear winding weight. The front of the watch allows you to see the belt driven transmission work to remind you of high performance motor engines. A squared watch can be a great fashion statement and for those that are in love with fast cars, the TAG Heuer Monaco watch is the ultimate classic.

Everyone wants to have Steve McQueen’s iconic watch and feel like the coolest character in movie history behind the wheel. Buying a TAG Heuer Monaco is pretty hard due to the prices that make this brand exclusive but there is a way around this problem. A replica of the famous watch can work just as good and no one will ever be able to tell the difference. On the other hand, the price makes the true difference between a replica TAG Heuer and an original, so if you want to have a classic motor sports watch on your wrist, a watch that set its own style, the TAG Heuer Monaco is the only one for you.
