Most interestingly, it retains the "left-hand" layout of the original Monaco: the crown is positioned at 9 o'clock, while the angled chronograph pushers are located on the right side of the case. Originally designed to make operation easier for racing drivers wearing gloves, this configuration has since become the Monaco's most distinctive signature feature.

The most striking feature is its transparent, open-worked dial. It employs an inverted movement architecture, bringing components usually concealed at the back—such as the balance wheel, mainspring barrel, and gear train—to the front. The hour markers and hands are coated with white Super-LumiNova, ensuring clear legibility even in low-light conditions. The dial features a classic "bi-compax" layout: a 60-minute chronograph counter at 3 o'clock and a small seconds sub-dial at 9 o'clock. Both sub-dials are crafted from black opal, creating a multi-layered contrast against the DLC-coated movement bridges.  The splash of red on the chronograph hands serves as the visual focal point of the entire dial. The central chronograph seconds hand features a red lacquered finish, while the tip of the chronograph minutes hand is also accented in red; once the chronograph is activated, the red hands sweep across the black skeletonized dial, evoking the unmistakable look of a racing car dashboard.

The Calibre TH80-00 is no ordinary automatic chronograph movement. It replaces traditional mechanical articulated joints with a flexible, bistable component; by utilizing high-precision flexure—where the structure bends rather than pivots—it minimizes wear and reduces the total number of parts. With zero mechanical backlash and negligible friction, this patented design significantly lowers maintenance needs while ensuring long-term stability and exceptional reliability. The movement is COSC-certified, guaranteeing impeccable precision. It operates at a high frequency of 5 Hz (36,000 vibrations per hour), allowing the central chronograph hand to measure time with 1/10th-second accuracy, and offers a 70-hour power reserve. It also features a TH-Carbonspring—a carbon-nanocomposite hairspring—providing outstanding magnetic resistance. Through the square sapphire case back, one can admire the F1 checkered flag motif adorning the movement bridges and the TAG Heuer shield logo on the oscillating weight. With a water resistance rating of 100 meters, it is perfectly suited for daily wear, handling everything from everyday commuting to accidental splashes while washing your hands without a worry.
