As is often the case with many design classics, the Replica Heuer Monaco divided opinion.

Every aspect of the Tag Heuer Replica watch’s design was radical: the metallic blue dial, the red and light blue hands, the square case and the placement of the crown on the left-hand side.

But fifty years later, Replica TAG Heuer celebrates this iconic model with new versions of the legendary original, events around the world as well as a dedicated book.

When introduced it featured the first water-resistant square case and the Calibre 11, the first automatic-winding chronograph movement.

The Tag Heuer Replica Calibre 11 was the result of three years of close collaboration between watch brands Heuer, Breitling and Hamilton, and it became the first automatic chronograph.

Tag Heuer Monaco – Steve McQueen Chronograph

While the square-faced Tag Heuer Monaco Replica became legendary after Steve McQueen checked the time on one in the opening sequence of the greatest racing movie of all time, Le Mans, he did in fact also wear one in real life.

Off the set, McQueen raced motorcycles with a fair amount of skill and was downright talented and quick in another early ’70s racing legend, the Porsche 908, a car in which he nearly won the 12 Hours of Sebring!

Just as McQueen himself will always remain iconic, Heuer’s iconic timepiece also broke the wristwatch mold, as the first water-resistant timepiece with a square case and the first automatic chronograph. The Copy Monaco vintage elegance, just like the race itself.
