In the watchmaking universe, TAG Heuer has established its enduring and unbreakable legacy, weaving a narrative that intertwines the thrill of motorsport with the finesse of Swiss craftsmanship.

At the heart of the TAG Heuer Monaco Chronograph Pink lies the in-house automatic calibre Heuer 02, manufactured to ensure utmost precision and reliability. As TAG Heuer’s signature chronograph caliber, the movement can be observed through the skeletonized dial, allowing enthusiasts to admire the intricate workings of the watch. Visible through the sapphire case back, the column wheel at 12 o’clock and the oscillating weight, accented in striking pink, enhance the technical allure while preserving modern and sporty aesthetics.

The lightweight titanium case, finished with a sleek black DLC coating, offers a contemporary design that contrasts with the bold pink accents on the 3 and 9 o’clock counters and hands, as well as on the chronograph seconds hand. The indexes, prominently displayed on the dial, follow the lines of the skeletonized architecture for a strikingly vibrant look. The choice of materials not only boosts the watch’s durability but also ensures comfort for wearers, whether in everyday adventures or high-octane events.

Crafted from a unique combination of embossed black calfskin leather and rubber backing, the strap balances style with functionality, perfect for versatile wear. The strap is equipped with a sandblasted black DLC grade-2 titanium deployant folding clasp with double safety push buttons and TAG Heuer shield.
