Tag Heuer never hesitated to push the limits, but the new Chronograph of Monaco Fractionation of the seconds is something else entirely. Unveiled to coincide with the return of the brand as an official sponsor of the title of Formula 1 tag Heuer Grand Prix de Monaco 2025This version does not only mark a return, it redefines what a Monaco can be.
Made from Th-Titanium, an internal owner alloy subject to a high temperature process, the case emerges with a robust textured finish which seems more formula 1 prototype than the luxury wristwatch. It's gross, it's radical, and it's a reminder that it is not only a design exercise, it is a technical declaration.
Inside, the ultra-light TH81-00 caliber feeds a complication of the cattle chronograph (fractionation-secret), the ultimate in the precision of synchronization of motorsport.
Yes, it is yellow dmarge that you see
The most striking visual signal? Vibrant yellow accents on the hand of the chronograph and the subdiaux. Not just any aka yellow “Dmarge Yellow”. Punchy, daring and undoubtedly fast, it passes through the watch as a sequence of Lans Pit-Pit, adding another layer of attitude to High Octane.
Associated with hand -painted racing scratches, a flag rotor by Chéqué and a veal strap sewn by hand, this Monaco is a collection dream and a trophy of a motor sports fanatic.
A triple threat version
Fraction chronograph titles A trio of monaco outputs Pulled perfectly with this year Monaco GP.
Also in the grid: the Monaco Chronograph X Gulf, a vibrating wink at Steve McQueen and Le Mans, and the Rectuometer of Monaco Chronograph, a vintage renewal inspired by the timer of the dashboard of the 60s and 70s of Heuer. Together, they map Tag's vision for the future: fast, functional and fiercely led by design.
Under the hood: the Monaco Split-Seconds chronograph, deconstructs
If the style of retro inspiration is not your thing, the new chronograph of the Tag Heuer seconds division is delivered with enough firepower to silence the purists. It is not only a Monaco; It is a technical flex.
Made from Th-Titanium, an owner titanium alloy developed entirely internally at the Tag Heuer Institute, this case is not only light, it is visually wild. The material undergoes high temperature treatment which produces a marbled finish in the shape of camouflage, which makes each case slightly different and completely stopped. Think Stealth Fighter meets motorsport sculpture.
The movement inside is just as serious. The Th81-00 caliber, a catch-up chronograph operating at 36,000 vibrations per hour, is also made of titanium and treated with black DLC for a technical and modern edge. Despite all these machines, the watch tips the scale at only 86 grams in total, including the strap and the loop. Movement alone weighs only 30 grams.
The green lime flourishes through the speed of the skeleton dial and the precision of the fraction of a second, and with a reserve of power of 65 hours, it is a monaco which makes the distance. All this clarification and this innovation?
Yours for a tidy CHF 145,000 / AUD 272,000. But let's be honest, it's less a watch and more an investment.
Who will win Monaco in 2025?
While experts have their money on Charles Leclerc by claiming another home victory or defending Max Verstappen by winning his third victory of the season. Our hopes are that it will be Mr. Oscar Piastri. Goooooo, Oscar.
Like the Official Temine of the Monaco Grand Prix And a brand that has belonged to Monaco since the 1960s, their presence in the paddock is more than symbolic, it is essential.
