If you are a racing fan or a watch enthusiast, you must not miss the Monaco series split-seconds chronograph F1® model just released by TAG Heuer! This watch is not only a representative of high-end watchmaking, but also the official timer of the F1 World Championship. There is a strong racing culture and legendary stories behind it. Come and see its unique charm!

TAG Heuer F1® watch released

On April 1, 2025, at the “Watches and Miracles” Haute Horlogerie Exhibition in Geneva, TAG Heuer officially released the Monaco series split-seconds chronograph F1® model. This press conference also happened to commemorate the milestone moment when TAG Heuer became the official timekeeper of the F1 World Championship®. As the world’s top racing event, F1’s speed and passion are self-evident, and TAG Heuer has further consolidated its leadership position in the high-end watchmaking industry with this watch.

The Monaco series has been a symbol of bold and avant-garde design since its inception in 1969. This F1® model is equipped with the TH8100 self-winding split-second chronograph movement. As a square chronograph, it is the world’s first square chronograph that can be self-winding and waterproof, which is a milestone in the watchmaking industry.

The reason why the Monaco series is well-known is also attributed to Steve McQueen, who wore the TAG Heuer Monaco series watch in the 1971 movie “Fast”. This series has gradually become synonymous with uninhibited style and innovative spirit.

The unique charm of the watch

This new Monaco series split-seconds chronograph F1® model is not only limited to 10 pieces, but each one has an independent number, symbolizing its position in precious racing history, which is very attractive to collectors. The dial design of this watch is inspired by the F1 World Championship®, and it is also engraved with the classic opening sentence “LIGHTS OUT & AWAY WE GO” by the famous British commentator David Croft. This sentence has also become the best comment on this watch.

From the appearance point of view, the Monaco series split-seconds chronograph F1® model is even more eye-catching. The white ceramic case with sapphire mirror not only stands the test of time, but also performs well in terms of resistance to pressure and scratches. The red and blue embellishments on the dial make the entire watch look dynamic, like an F1 car about to rush off the track.

Conclusion

TAG Heuer’s Monaco Series F1® watch is really exciting. The limited edition design of 10 pieces and the elements of F1 will undoubtedly attract the attention of many collectors. As a watch lover, I think it is not only a watch, but also a symbol of the racing spirit. What do you think? Let’s chat about your opinions in the comment area, or give us a like to support!
