BASELWORLD 2018 | TAG Heuer presents the new Monaco Gulf

It comes 50 years after the birth of the blue and orange stripes of Gulf Racing.

At Baselworld , TAG Heuer presents the new TAG Heuer Monaco. The Special Edition is the Gulf.

TAG Heuer, a Swiss watchmaking company, particularly known for its luxury watches and chronographs. The brand owes part of its fame to its participation in the world of motor racing , mainly Formula 1 , where it was the official supplier of timing systems for numerous seasons, as well as having provided financial support first to Williams , then to McLaren and then, since 2016, to Red Bull . From 1983 to 1987, it lent its name to the Porsche engines used by McLaren. The same thing has been repeated since 2016 with the Renault engines of Red Bull, after having concluded the thirty-year partnership with McLaren. Since 2017, it has been a partner and timekeeper of cycling races organized by RCS, including the Giro d'Italia .

TAG Heuer and Gulf : a historic partnership for a legendary timepiece that changed the face of the watchmaking industry. In 1969, the TAG Heuer Monaco – equipped with the world’s first automatic chronograph, the Calibre 11 – revolutionised both the technique and aesthetics of watchmaking with its square case.

The timepiece made history thanks to the film Le Mans in which Steve McQueen, at the wheel of his Gulf-colored Porsche 917, wore a TAG Heuer Monaco 1133B Calibre 11 on his wrist.

Revisited in this special edition, its iconic blue sunray dial features Gulf's signature blue and orange stripes. A perforated blue calfskin strap with orange stitching completes the racing design of the timepiece. It is inspired by the "King of Cool" and his famous blue and orange sports car.

The Gulf Special Edition, presented at Baselworld, draws on the origins of the watchmaking Maison by celebrating its rich automotive heritage. A way to perpetuate a legendary partnership through a timepiece as bold as it is timeless, just like the Monaco Gulf.

List price: € 5,250.00
