Tag Heuer Monaco Twenty Four Calibre 36 Chronograph 40.5mm with Black Dial
Swiss watchmaking legend TAG HEUER continues its winning partnership with Automobile Club de Monaco (ACM), the governing body of the most glamorous race in motor racing.
In 2011, TAG Heuer and the Automobile Club de Monaco signed a historic agreement making the Swiss brand the ACM’s Official Watch and Chronograph and Eyewear Partner of its most glamorous event: the Grand Prix of Monaco.
In 2013, the brand celebrates its legacy by unveiling the Monaco 24 Calibre 36 Chronograph 40.5mm with a Black Dial (reference CAL5113.FC6329).
The oversized number 24 at 12 o’clock on the two-part, see-through dial in black opaline is a nod to the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the most famous endurance race in the world.
Inside the steel case, a Calibre 36 movement runs at the stunning speed of 36,000 vibrations (corresponding to a frequency of 5 Hertz). The COSC-certified TAG Heuer movement’s unique annular oscillating mass is visible through the wide sapphire crystal case-back.
An “Advanced Dynamic Absorber System” protects the movement by suspending it inside the case with 4 shock-absorbing arms. The manifold arms, also visible through the crystal case-back, collect vibrations and direct them away from the movement and into the composite filter, which absorbs and dissipates their energy.
The award-winning construction, tubular design and extreme shock-protected components are directly inspired by Formula One race-car technology.
