TAG Heuer's Monaco chronographs have remained popular over the years, and the latest addition to the collection is no exception. The new Monaco Skeleton showcases a skeletonised dial with eye-catching pink accents, drawing inspiration from the vibrant neon lights of Las Vegas.
The Monaco, famously worn by Steve McQueen in the 1971 film "Le Mans", has been a staple in TAG Heuer's lineup for over five decades. The latest model features a 39mm black sandblasted DLC-coated titanium case and a 15.2mm thickness, making it sleek and lightweight on the wrist.
The black square base of the dial houses a circular minute track with bold white markings and indices that extend to the edges of the dial. The standout feature of the watch is the elongated black indices, which also double as bridges for the sub-dials, date arrow, and applique logos. These indices are highlighted with bright pink luminescent material that emits a light blue glow in the dark.
The squared sub-dials at 3 and 9 o'clock are held in place by the elongated pink indices, and the outer track of the sub-dials is picked out in a bright pink opalin. The central chronograph seconds hand also matches this vibrant pink color. The date is indicated by a small pink arrow at 6 o'clock.
Turning the watch over, the caseback reveals the skeletonised date wheel and a black openworked rotor with pink inscriptions. The movement powering the watch is the automatic calibre Heuer 02, which operates at 4Hz and has an impressive 80-hour power reserve.
The TAG Heuer Monaco Skeleton comes with a black embossed calfskin and rubber strap, and it is secured with a black DLC-coated titanium folding clasp. It has a water resistance of 100m.
