Inspired by the powerful racing cars, Tag Heuer created the first Monaco chronograph with its iconic square dial supported by Tag Heuer’s water-proof system. 40 years later, Tag Heuer pays tribute to the 24 hours of Le Mans-one of the most tough car races in the planet again by releasing the the latest Monaco Twenty Four Concept Chronograph.

The black-textured 40.5mm dial is crafted from industrial-grade tungsten infused with carbon which is specially developed for car racing and aerospace use. The TAG Heuer Calibre 36 movement is suspended in the case though four shock absorbers. This innovative design endows Monaco 24 with incredible shock resistance. According Tag Heuer, Monaco will still survive if being dropped from 20 feet height. It is so tough designed that it can eat the impact of 24, 000G. The technical beauty of this movement is visible through sapphire crystal dial face and case back. The front sapphire crystal has anti-reflective at both sides for ideal readability.

Monaco 24 features an over-sized “24” at 12 , which is the most notable difference from previous Monaco Model. The dial sports blue and orange stripes, which remind me of TAG Heuer Ambassador Steve McQueen who worn the same colors in his 1970 film classic, Le Mans.Two sub-counters are located at 3 and 9 o’clock with strong sporty feel as inspired by racing cars.Obviously, the dial adopts not a few 3-dimensional design elements. The hands, in particular, seems to hover over the dial and take charge of very moment passing.

This new Monaco watch is presented on a blue alligator leather strap with orange stitching. It is water resistant to 100 meters.The Monaco 24, as a luxurious concept watch, is undoubtedly very expensive and hard to reach for most of people live in this planet.
