TAG Heuer Reinvents the Monaco

The Monaco has always been TAG Heuer's most recognisable silhouette square case, blue dial, a permanent association with Steve McQueen which makes tinkering with it a genuinely risky proposition.

The new Monaco Evergraph does it anyway, built around the TH80-00 calibre, a movement that reimagines both the chronograph's functionality and the tactile feel of its pushers. Its headline feature is a carbon-spring oscillator, engineered to improve resistance to magnetic fields while pushing precision forward the kind of quietly technical upgrade that matters far more to watchmakers than it does to anyone glancing at a wrist across a dinner table, but one that keeps a fifty-plus-year-old design honestly relevant rather than merely nostalgic.
