Several timepieces are closely associated with automobile racing, perhaps none more closely than the Heuer Monaco. Steve McQueen made the watch famous when he wore it in the 1971 film Le Mans. The best TAG Heuer Monaco replica watches at captainthewatch.is.
To play the role of driver Michael Delaney, McQueen sought advice from his friend and racing driver, Jo Siffert. In the film, McQueen wore Siffert’s driving suit, which carried the “Chronograph Heuer” logo. When it came time to chose his watch for the role, McQueen went with the Monaco, and the rest is history. Today, the model 1133 carries the collector nickname “McQueen Monaco.”
2015 Heuer Monaco Calibre 11 Chronograph ticks all the boxes to be considered a true re-edition of the 1969 Monaco 1133B, with only the case and pusher design differing from the famous original. This is not the first time that TAG Heuer has faithfully reproduced the 1133B, as owners of the 2009 40th Anniversary Monaco will attest. But it is the first time that a true McQueen re-edition has been part of the regular production range, and at a very sharp price.
