To celebrate the Monaco watch line's 40th
birthday, Tag Heuer has launched new cool Tag Heuer Monaco 24
Concept Chronograph watch.
The creation of that sophisticated latest in the Tag Heuer Monaco
line, watch was inspired by the phenomenally powerful GT race cars
of the 24 hours of Le Mans.
To the commemoration of the data 24
Tag Heuer Monaco twenty four Concept Chronograph has an
oversize "24" at 12 o'clock and the emblematic blue and orange
livery of Gulf Oil – the same colors Steve McQueen, Tag
Heuer Ambassador wore in the film "Le Mans".
Among the main innovative features of the Tag Heuer Monaco 24
Concept Chronograph watch model are extreme shock-protected
components, able to withstand an impact of 24,000 G, the equivalent
of a 20-metre fall. It is so because of the special materials
used in aerospace and auto racing, implemented against shock and
torque.
Again, the TAG Heuer Calibre 36 movement (36.000 beats/hour)
“floats” inside the oversized (40.5mm) black PVD-coated case. Suspended
within a steel-tube housing, the device resembles a race car driver's
protective cockpit cage.
The watch model has 100 meters water resistance.
The curved
sapphire scratch-resistant crystal fits anti-reflective double-sided
treatment. The black PVD-coated case of the watch is a bit oversized -
40.5mm.

To conclude the model is full of Tag Heuer Monaco elegance. The square-shape
of Tag Heuer Monaco 24 Concept Chronograph watch model repeats the
iconic exterior of the first Steve McQueen's watch from Monaco line
(photo below). The engine of the timepiece is as fast as 350 km/h
speed during the legendary Le Mans race.
So I'd love to feel the speed of the time with the last Tag Heuer
Monaco model! Hope that you too.
