Square Route
Introduction
The Monaco has been disruptive and bold in design and function since its launch thanks to its iconic square waterproof case, folding clasped bracelet and water resistance up to 100 meters. These modern classics with square chronographs and the Monaco's signature square case really makes a statement. It's strong, fierce and in a league of its own.
This new Gulf Edition of the TAG Heuer Monaco is a bold and colourful variant. It is based on the 2015 TAG Heuer Monaco Calibre 11 “Steve McQueen” ref. CAW211P. We find the same case, the same movement, the same style of dial – and the same overall concept.

The Original King of Cool
Decades after his untimely death, Hollywood’s original badass is still relevant today. His cool self-confidence, defiance of authority and macho style changed cinema forever and had a profound influence on TAG Heuer’s own story. He took the path less traveled living on the streets, joining the circus then the marines, but raced ahead and blasted through the box office for two decades in iconic titles like “The Great Escape,” “Bullitt,” “Papillon” and “The Thomas Crown Affair.”
Monaco, worn by McQueen
Off screen, he enjoyed the dangerous thrill of motorsports. In the famous 1970 film "Le Mans," he wore a Heuer crest on his racing suit and a square-dial Heuer Monaco on his wrist, catapulting the watch into superstardom. The blue-faced watch and the blue-eyed actor have been linked ever since, a timeless ode to TAG Heuer’s “don’t crack under pressure” attitude.
His Tag Heuer Monaco was sold on July 31st 2012 at the “Profiles in Hollywood” auction for $799,500.
