Review TAG Heuer Monaco Calibre 12 With Black Dial And Red Hands

A more modern Monaco with chrono push buttons and winding crown located on the right, calibre 12 and TAG Heuer logo. The signs are unmistakable: central hand of the chronometer, hours and minutes (partially) in red. As are the seconds hand at 3 o’clock and the chrono minutes hand at 9 o’clock.

There are three versions: blue dial, black dial and the very latest, a watch that we believe exudes the most powerful racing spirit. This replica TAG Heuer Monaco Calibre 12 is a synthesis of the first two: taking the dial from the super classic black version and the red hands from the blue one (a homage to Steve McQueen).

Everything else is familiar and the word “ Monaco! ” immediately comes to mind, even without the logo on the dial to remind you. And it plays on the symmetry of the dial. The chrono push pieces are inclined, the two counters, typically 70's style, both have four digits. The date is at 6 o’clock. And a contribution is also made by the design of the lugs, so inclined that they almost disappear from sight if viewed from above, with the result that the leather bracelet almost seems to be “swallowed” by the case.
