In 1969 the Monaco was the first ever water resistant watch with a square case and working on the Chronomatic Calibre 11, first ever square automatic chronograph. What helped to make the Monaco legendary was the fact, that Steve McQueen wore it in the film LeMans. Since then, the Monaco has remained as a highly desired piece of elegant watch and racing history.
I myself carry around this version of the beautiful piece of design history - TAG Heuer Monaco Calible 12 Automatic Chronograph in black:
I love every variation of the Monaco watch. Here is one of them featured separately:
And how has Monaco developed? Take a look at the Monaco v4 - the first belt driven timepiece! Talking about sweet!
