TAG Heuer Monaco Calibre11 | Hands On | Chrono24

[@davidbea319]

The original caliber 11 from 1969 is a completely different movement from this modern caliber 11. The original had a micro rotor. I have a large collection of 1960s and 70s era Heuers with the original caliber 11 movement. This modern edition has some nice improvements to the case. For example the pushers are rectangular rather than round. The original had a 12 hour register. I do wish they would add a 12 hour register instead of the running seconds hand. Even so, this is my favorite modern watch from Tag Heuer.

I love this watch! It’s the only Tag that I want. Thank you for the video.

[@stantondorsett5108]

But it’s not a TAG…technically anyway ;). One of the best parts of this watch is it’s controversial existence!

[@jonathansmith283]

@@stantondorsett5108 well T-H , thank you. it is now in my small collection , and on the wrist. be safe. ~ JDS/CT

I just got my GULF Edition Monaco last week. I can’t say how impressed I am of the build quality, which is only evident when the watch is in hand. The ease of use is also appreciated, and the strap is very comfortable and clever. I also own the GULF Edition TH Formula One with the leather strap, but the watches couldn’t be more different. I’m loving them and the F1Senna also.

[@cduenas2008]

I have this watch. Calibre 11 is a must if you get the Monaco!

[@diegom.8773]

I bought it yesterday, it’s really a collectable time piece and enjoiable

[@tracywilkinson1820]

It's more fun than I thought it would be.

[@mrbud8524]

Steve McQueen calibre 11 blue is the Real Deal one of the coolest watches out there this version is getting very popular by collectors must buy.

[@Chrono24Official]

👍🏻👍🏻

[@Romio666]

Yet I still like the play on the Gulf edition much more

[@paulsaret]

My only problem is that this is a different Cal. 11 as the original one. The original one has a 12-hour totalizer at 9 o'clock and a 30-minute sub-dial at 3 o'clock and no small seconds. This one has no hour totalizer, only a 30 minute totalizer at 9 o'clock and small seconds at 3 o'clock. They should not have called it cal. 11 IMHO.

[@nrs6956]

Thank you. A great watch. Am not a watch snob. Hope to acquire a Monaco sometime. Have a Autavia in excellent condition. "Viceroy" issue. To me Heuer symbolizes many aspects of racing that I find quite endearing in these times!

[@Chrono24Official]

A pleasure to do these kind of videos :)! Heuer is definitely a great choice if you are a racing fan.

[@led0073]

Totally love the monaco, stands out on the wrist from the sea of circular watches, and I'm very lucky to own the calibre 11 Gulf special edition.

[@Chrono24Official]

Great to read a comment from a proud Monaco owner! 🤚🏼

[@05Rudey]

I used to lust over Omega Seamaster 300's and Rolex Explorers... But I really want a Tag Heuer Monaco. It's just pure class and I can't think of a better style icon than Steve McQueen.

[@silveriver9]

I own a rolex explorer and an omega speedmaster. I am now considering the Tag Heuer Monaco, it's so stylish!

[@TyroneBeiron]

Actually bought this exact model off Chrono24 and fortunately both the right price and seller was 'local' - from my own country. Definitely a keepsake.

[@b_altmann]

This is one of the classics together with the Rolex Submariner and Omega Speedmaster.

[@chrisdobz4468]

Daytona is #1 ultimate classic. Nothing comes close. From there it’s the Submariner then Speedmaster and Monaco.

[@b_altmann]

@@chrisdobz4468 there is no hierarchy the way I described it. They are all classics. And if we’re talking Daytona, well, then it would be the Paul Newman version, not the modern one of course.

[@ponyboy1664]

I love this watch, I think the calibre 11 is one of the most beautiful and recognisable watches ever made. I just wish the strap was blue, like the Gulf.

[@Dani_A_GM]

My grailwatch. Absolutely cool.

[@_Peter_.]

The Vintage one is cool! Not a big fan of the modern Tag Heuers…

[@grinchproductions6547]

Just purchased the Monaco caliber 11 from Chrino24

[@Gundal66]

I didnt like initally..but after 2-3 years of watch collecting my taste starts to change..and now I am intrigued by it 😅

[@Chrono24Official]

Why didn't you like it in the first place? Would be interesting 😬 Was it the case shape?

[@aromaticsnail]

Thanks for the video. One request: please include the reference numbers in the description or even a link to the site.

[@Chrono24Official]

Thanks for the feedback! We have now included the reference number in the decription below :) Hope that helps.

[@Studebacker100]

J'ai la Gulf Édition, je l'adore

[@charlescutting1391]

Just bought my Monaco today

[@Chrono24Official]

Wow! Congrats 🙏🏻 Which one? The one from the video 🤔 I am curious... Best, Pascal

[@carlitoxb110]

Lucky

[@cw6795]

I don't know how anybody cannot like this watch.

[@spittinvenom9843]

On my list.

[@leemoonie]

Beautiful watch, great info to Thanks

[@Chrono24Official]

Glad to read that! Thanks for your feedback.

[@tomtomd.6841]

Thank you very much for the video. The MONACO is an really awesome , beautiful watch, in all modifications, a watch with spirit, and it is unique. My personal favorite is the Gulf Edition, because i love the very special GULF Colours. Anyway, nobody wears the MONACO as cool as Mr. Steve McQueen. Salut from Germany...

[@Chrono24Official]

Hey Tom, Thanks for your feedback! Indeed the Gulf Monaco is indeed a cool piece. ;)

[@HarvinderSingh-it5ep]

Great video

[@Chrono24Official]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@mikec3454]

Lots of cool factor with the Monaco. I do wish Tag would improve their presentation box though; and I know, you just put it in the closet anyways. For the money though, they have to step it up, especially on some of their premium offerings.

[@Chrono24Official]

Hey Mike, can't deny that the box and overall presentation is an important factor when buying a new watch. What are you missing with the Tag Heuer boxes? Are you a fan of Omega's presentation? Guess you like the Speedmaster boxes. Cheers, Pascal

[@mikec3454]

Chrono24 I sure hope your response is sarcasm... No, I don’t like the Speedy’s presentation box, you don’t need a briefcase. However, it’s quite sad that the presentation box found on a Hamilton or Tissot are of better quality than the Tag. It’s that cheap looking pillow that kills it. It certainly doesn’t give the feeling of a $7500 CAD watch when you’re unboxing it.

[@danielmartini3229]

why can they still call it caliber 11 when it's based off a sellita movement (SW300-1) which in turn is a 'copy' of an ETA movement (ETA 2892)?

[@spittinvenom9671]

What’s your opinion of the movement in the Monaco?

[@juanespinosa1259]

I have calibre 11 retro version from Heuer, and I prefer the leather band than the steel band, IMO. It's much more wearable with a suit than the steel band. The steel band doesn't look as fashionable as the leather band. A Tag Heuer or Heuer Monaco should always be a Calibre 11 with the crown at the 9 o'clock position and worn on the left hand, unless you drive a right hand drive car.

[@highintensitypt]

The actual driver worn an Autavia, at the time of filming, they were too difficult to acquire and so they settled on the Monaco for the film.

[@nrs6956]

A class act! Thank you.

[@Chrono24Official]

A pleasure! ;)

[@raymondng9107]

Can you do a review on B&R laughing skull

[@Chrono24Official]

Let's see, if we can get our hands on one. Thanks for your suggestion!

[@tevitakatonibau5950]

Can the strap be changed to alligator skin?

[@bradburnside213]

Damn that’s nice

[@jrlee1031]

What's the size of the strap? 20 or 22mm

[@Chrono24Official]

It is a 20mm strap.

[@carlitoxb110]

Your pronunciation of Monaco though

[@Sottoilquadrante]

Heuer Monaco 1133b. The real Steve McQueen...

[@rahirizwankhan2281]

I have your app chrono 24

[@rthewood]

beautiull model

[@philippemariani9035]

Who is Steve McQueen ?

[@spittinvenom9843]

Google broken?

[@Gretzn]

clean the watch next time..

[@Chrono24Official]

Yes, we will try to check it and clean it more often during the video shoot! We promise ;)

[@modernworldiscrap]

1133b or nothing

[@andygregory2145]

Only downside is the non in house movement

[@Chrono24Official]

There always has to be a downside... can you live with this one? 🧐 Or is it a dealbreaker?

[@paulsaret]

For me the downside, which is a deal breaker for me, is that it has no 12- hour totalizer like the original Monaco; in lieu thereof, it has only a 30 minute totalizer at 9 o'clock with the small seconds at 3 o'clock.

[@d.stiefel869]

It’s not a Ma-knock-oh. 🤦‍♂️

[@A.T.148-Scot-HK]

French pronunciation. Monaco is a principality in France after all.

[@rickmann1587]

It is the most beautiful watch ever!!! 👌 But it wasn't McQueen to choose the watch, it just was the only model available because it wasn't selling, as Jack Heuer himself tells us kzbin.info/www/bejne/pKCTfo2kfKyEbKM Also this modern CAW211's movement has absolutely nothing to do with the original 1969 Caliber 11 movement, besides the name... I like your channel and videos but a website as important as yours just has the obligation to be correct on your statements.

[@mrgee007]

was thinking the same, it annoys me that TAG call it calibre 11! These heritage watches use a modified Selita SW300 movements

[@paulsaret]

I agree. The 1969 Cal. 11 has a 12 hour totalizer at 9 o'clock, a 30 minute sub-dial at 3 o'clock with no small seconds. This new supposedly "Cal. 11" has only a 30 minutes totalizer at 9 o'clock and small seconds at 3 o'clock.

[@A.T.148-Scot-HK]

​@@mrgee007yes this video is littered with mistakes. But on the movement itself, I actually don't mind the modular ETA base with Dubois chronograph on top - it's the only way to keep the crown in the left and Dubois Depraz was one of the original collaborators in the Calibre 11, so I consider it a part of a legacy and history.

[@Dilldog1]

Phirst!
