An Irreplaceable Classic Benchmark in the Field of Square Watches

The 2025 F1 season undoubtedly belongs to TAG Heuer.  Not only has the brand reunited with the F1® World Championship after many years, resuming its role as official timekeeper, but its partner, Red Bull Racing driver Max Verstappen, has also delivered spectacular performances, frequently standing on the podium while wearing the Monaco series watch, further solidifying the series' deep connection with moments of victory. At the same time, the F1 series watches continue to thrive, with the Monaco series F1 special editions frequently releasing new models, offering both racing and watch enthusiasts a double feast spanning the racetrack and watchmaking. On the eve of the Las Vegas Grand Prix in November 2025, TAG Heuer launched a new limited-edition Monaco watch, perfectly blending the racing DNA inherent in the Monaco series with gradient aesthetics.  It's no exaggeration to call it "the most stunning Monaco watch of the year."

In March 1969, the Monaco series watch was officially launched, a timepiece named after the Monaco Grand Prix, embodying TAG Heuer's deep connection with motorsport and representing a groundbreaking achievement. As the world's first square waterproof automatic chronograph, it broke the prevailing dominance of round watches in the market.  Its unique angular case shape, the unconventional left-side crown design, and the subsequent endorsement by Steve McQueen, not only made it stand out among numerous watches but also completely redefined the industry's perception of "watch case shapes," breaking traditional constraints in watchmaking and ultimately becoming an irreplaceable classic benchmark in the field of square watches. Like the Carrera series chronograph, also named after a top-tier racing event, the Monaco series has a clear and unwavering product positioning; both are professional chronographs designed for the racetrack. Thanks to this "racing DNA," these two series of TAG Heuer watches have left an indelible mark on the history of chronograph development worldwide. 

Now, more than half a century later, the TAG Heuer Monaco series watches have maintained their classic square case.  The Monaco product line can now be broadly categorized into versions featuring the Calibre 11 movement and retaining the original left-side crown, to models with the TH20-00 movement and a right-side crown to suit more wearers' preferences.  It also includes versions that push the boundaries of materials with carbon composite hairsprings, models with a "RM-derived" split-seconds chronograph movement, and versions showcasing mechanical aesthetics with skeletonized dials. This diverse range of styles caters to different tastes and needs, allowing the classic design to continuously reinvent itself.

Racing Track DNA and Gradient Aesthetics - TAG Heuer Monaco CBL218E.FT6312

The TAG Heuer Monaco CBL218E.FT6312, the Las Vegas Grand Prix Limited Edition chronograph, is based on the 2023 skeletonized dial version. The skeletonized dial, with its mechanically sophisticated design, opens up greater creative possibilities for the Monaco series, just like last year's Monaco Las Vegas special edition, which attracted considerable attention from watch enthusiasts with its bold combination of a skeletonized design and pink accents. In comparison, I think this year's new model is even more interesting and visually striking in its use of color. The best TAG Heuer Monaco replica watches at captainthewatch.is.

Currently, all skeletonized Monaco models feature a classic square case made of titanium, and this Las Vegas Grand Prix Limited Edition continues this advanced product positioning. The 39mm diameter and 13.8mm thickness are perfectly proportioned, and combined with the inherent lightness of titanium, this cool square watch feels incredibly light and comfortable on the wrist, without any sense of bulkiness. The case also features a finely brushed black DLC coating, giving it a completely blacked-out look. This not only highlights the watch's design theme, but also makes the sharp edges of the square case appear even more three-dimensional, reminiscent of the Las Vegas Grand Prix at night.

All openworked Monaco models uniformly adopt a layout with the crown and chronograph pushers on the right side, which better suits the wearing and operating habits of modern watch enthusiasts. The crown is clearly engraved with the TAG Heuer brand shield logo and features anti-slip knurling for easy adjustment. The two chronograph pushers are large and rectangular in design, and are also treated with a black DLC coating. The case is water-resistant to 100 meters, easily handling everyday activities such as washing hands and swimming. 

The centerpiece of this limited-edition Monaco watch for the Las Vegas Grand Prix is ​​its gradient, openworked dial, which instantly captures the eye. The openworked dial features a color gradient that transitions from a romantic purple to a deep blue, reminiscent of the stunning Las Vegas twilight sky. During the transition from sunset to nightfall in the desert city, the sky is often bathed in a soft blue-purple gradient due to atmospheric scattering effects combined with the ever-present neon lights of Las Vegas. The turquoise-colored chronograph hands provide a refreshing contrast, perfectly balancing the visual effect of the openworked dial. TAG Heuer uses clean, straight lines to create symmetrical divisions on the dial, resulting in a more organized and harmonious overall appearance. The 3 o'clock position features a 30-minute counter, while the 9 o'clock position houses the 12-hour counter. The symmetrically positioned isosceles trapezoidal areas cleverly incorporate the "MONACO" lettering, the brand logo, and the date window at the 6 o'clock position. The openworked date wheel is clearly visible beneath the dial, and to enhance readability, the date window features a white background, making the reading instantly clear.

On the case back, the sapphire crystal is treated with an iridescent metallic coating, giving the glass a gradient color from blue to purple, cleverly echoing the front dial. The watch is powered by the TH20-00 movement, TAG Heuer's current flagship chronograph movement, developed under the leadership of the brand's movement director, Carole Kasapi. It's an upgrade from the classic 02 chronograph movement, now supporting bidirectional winding for improved winding efficiency and extended service and warranty periods. In terms of core configuration, it retains the column wheel and vertical clutch chronograph combination, ensuring smooth and precise chronograph operation, while also providing an 80-hour power reserve for everyday wear.
