The TAG Heuer Monaco Finds Its Perfect Match in Titanium
The TAG Heuer Monaco Chronograph in Grade 5 titanium retains the iconic square case and matte blue dial with red accents while reducing the weight compared with the stainless steel version. Measuring 39mm wide, 47.7mm lug-to-lug, and 13.9mm thick, it houses the TH20-11 automatic column-wheel chronograph movement, which offers an 80-hour power reserve and 100 meters of water resistance. The titanium case’s deep brushing emphasizes its sharp edges, and its lighter feel makes the substantial watch more comfortable to wear. The design preserves the Monaco’s distinctive character while modernizing it with titanium; the watch is priced at €9,300, US$9,350, or £7,900.
Buying Time Analysis: This story matters because it shows how Grade 5 titanium makes the iconic, substantial TAG Heuer Monaco lighter and more wearable while preserving its distinctive design.
