TAG Heuer has established itself as a leading sponsor in the motorsport world, renowned for its precision timekeeping and stylish, sporty watch designs. The pinnacle of racing, Formula 1, is at the forefront of TAG Heuer’s latest release—the Monaco Split-Seconds Chronograph | F1.
This exclusive series stands out in TAG Heuer’s catalog with its distinctive square shape. The meticulous attention to detail is evident in the cosmetic presentation, featuring pristine white and bold red accents that enhance its sporty aesthetic.
The reference CBW2190.FC8356 “pushes the boundaries of precision, engineering, and design,” according to TAG Heuer. It boasts a 41 mm x 15.2 mm x 47.9 mm white ceramic case with a combination of polished, satin, and matte textures. The geometric pushers and crown, adorned with the iconic TAG Heuer emblem, perfectly complement the housing.
Instead of a traditional bezel, the Monaco Split-Seconds Chronograph | F1 utilizes a sapphire crystal for protection. Its robust construction ensures a water resistance rating of 30 meters, making it as functional as it is stylish.
A transparent layer with a crimson tint frames the openwork dial and its subsidiary counters. The minute track and applied block hour markers surround the cutout, while TAG Heuer ensures that all crucial indices and hands are coated in Swiss Super-LumiNova for optimal legibility in low-light conditions.
At the heart of the Monaco Split-Seconds Chronograph | F1 is the in-house TH81-00 automatic caliber, delivering accurate timekeeping with a self winding movement that boasts a 65-hour power reserve. The watch is completed with a white leather strap featuring a textile pattern and red stitching, secured by a grade 5 titanium folding push-button clasp.
Limited to just 10 pieces, the TAG Heuer Monaco Split-Seconds Chronograph | F1 is a must-have for collectors and motorsport enthusiasts alike.
