Few Swiss watchmakers have ties to motorsport that run as deep as Tag Heuer’s. The official timekeeper of Formula One, the brand focused on what it does best at this year’s Watches and Wonders, unveiling new editions of the Monaco alongside the Aquaracer Professional 500 Date.
The Monaco is Tag Heuer pushing all the right boundaries in watchmaking. Leading the charge is the all-new Monaco Evergraph, which reimagines the construction and activation of a chronograph from the ground up. The new automatic Calibre TH80-00 gives the Monaco Evergraph a 5hz beat rate, COSC certification and 70 hours of power reserve, and integrates the proprietary TH-Carbonspring oscillator, improving magnetic resistance and timekeeping precision.

The new calibre also features a compliant mechanism, whereby all levers and hammers conventionally used to operate the chronograph have been replaced by two bistable systems – one for start and stop, and the other for resetting the complication. Thanks to efforts by the Tag Heuer Lab, the movement adopts an inverted construction, meaning the wearer can view the barrel, gear train and escapement – including the TH-Carbonspring oscillator – on the transparent dial side.
The bicompax Monaco Evergraph comes in two looks, one in DLC-coated grand 5 titanium with red and white accents, and another in grey grade 5 titanium with blue subdials and red and white accents.

Tag Heuer also released three colourways for conventional Monaco chronographs powered by the new in-house Calibre TH20-11. The movement pays tribute to the Calibre 11, the brand’s first automatic-winding chronograph movement, introduced in 1969. The grade 5 titanium piece measures 39mm as a square watch, and comes in a black dial with silver subdials and rose gold accents, a green dial with black subdials, or a blue dial with silver subdials and red accents.
The Monaco was not the only Tag Heuer icon presented in Geneva this year, as the brand also presented two stunning versions of the Aquaracer, the watchmaker’s dive and watersports line. Weighing just 120 grams, the Aquaracer Professional 500 Date offers a whopping 500 metres of water resistance, thanks to its grade 2 titanium construction.

The 42mm piece boasts a ceramic bezel insert surrounding a black lacquered dial with a mesmerising wave pattern and featuring blue or orange accents. Noteworthy features include – naturally enough – the date complication at 6 o’clock, as well as the black DLC sandblasted titanium helium escape valve at 10 o’clock. The three-row bracelet is also made of sandblasted grade 2 titanium, held together by a folding clasp.
