Debuting in 1969, TAG Heuer Monaco owes its name to the famous auto racing, however, the popularity and its recognition came less than two years later, with the film entitled “Le Mans”. It also went down in the history as the first automatic chronograph and the first waterproof watch in a square case.
The original Monaco are marked by the Calibre 11, with which the watch was released back in 1969. This movement was quickly replaced with the Calibre 11-I, and in 1971 with the Calibre 12. In the last case, the base movement was a Buren calibre, with the chronograph module made by Dubois-Depraz. The main downside of the construction was the lack of second hand. Imagine that you’re looking at the dial of a sports watch with numerous hands and… nothing but a slow minute hand is moving. Calibre 12, produced since 2009, solved that problem: one of the counters has given its way to a small second. Keep in mind that the modern Calibre 12 (ETA 2892 with Dubois Depraz chronograph module) has nothing to do with that of the 70’s (Chronomatic Calibre 12).
The TAG Heuer Monaco Steve McQueen Automatic Chronograph CAW2111.FC6183. Steel, 39mm casing in the shape of a square with a rounded edges. The Calibre 12 ticks with a standard frequency of 4Hz (28,000 A/h) and, unfortunately, has a very poor power reserve – only 40 hours. The watch is water resistant to 100 meters and completed with a blue alligator leather strap.

Many people think that the TAG Heuer Monaco is identical to the original Heuer Monaco. To debunk this myth, just combine the two models side by side. At first glance you may notice differences in the location and shape of indices, colour of the subdial hands, their applications or the date window “frame”. Subdials in the original model were 30-minute and 12-hour counters – the subsequent Monaco has a 30-minute counter and small seconds dial. Chronograph buttons were originally round, and the re-edition received rectangular ones. The case contour is not the same as well – the version from the past is more “rounded” on the sides, which is why the modern TAG Heuer Monaco seems to be a true, firm square.
