About this watch

Band: Perforated leather Clasp: Steel deployant Glass: Sapphire crystal Water Resistant: 10 bar The Heuer Monaco ref. 1133 was released in 1969 as the first water-resistant, square automatic chronograph. Famously worn by actor Steve McQueen in the 1971 film ‘Le Mans’, the Monaco has been a classic ever since. In the film, McQueen’s Porsche 917K featured the vivid blue and orange Gulf Oil livery colours reflected on the dial of this ref. CAW211R.FC6401 from 2017. To celebrate this connection, TAG Heuer released this 39mm stainless steel Gulf Oil Monaco as a special edition. The case is pressure-resistant to 10 bar and features its iconic crown at 9 o’clock. The dial includes applied luminous hour markers, a pre-1985 Heuer logo (sans TAG, which bought the company that year), a date aperture at 6, and a bicompax layout with running seconds at 3 and a 30-minute totaliser at 9. Protecting the dial is a scratch and glare-resistant sapphire crystal for excellent durability and legibility. The watch is set on a perforated blue leather strap, secured with a steel deployant clasp. Powering the timepiece is the automatic Calibre 11, based on the Sellita SW-300 with a chronograph module from Dubois-Depraz. It boasts a 40-hour power reserve, 4Hz beat rate, and bi-directional winding. This TAG Heuer Monaco Gulf Special Edition has just been serviced by our qualified watchmakers at Watch Tech and is covered by our two-year VWC warranty. Box & open card. Circa 2017.
