The latest TAG Heuer Monaco Chronograph Pink Skeleton is a remarkable timepiece that embodies the vibrant and playful energy of Las Vegas. This new iteration stands out with its modern aesthetics while staying true to the rich heritage of the Monaco collection, which has a storied legacy intertwined with motor racing and the history of cinema.
Design and Aesthetics
Dial: The standout feature of this watch is its vivid pink skeleton dial, which serves as a canvas for a celebration of color and reflects the lively ambiance of Las Vegas. The dial architecture is skeletonized, allowing wearers to admire the intricate inner workings of the watch. Embellished with black indexes highlighted by light blue Super-LumiNova®, the dial is both striking and functional.
Counters: It features three counters. At 3 o’clock, there is a minute chronograph counter with a pink lacquered hand set against a black and pink opalin backdrop. The permanent second indicator, located at 6 o’clock, is distinguished by a black gold-plated hand. At 9 o’clock, the hour chronograph counter mirrors the aesthetic of the minute counter with its pink opalin and black design, also operated by a pink lacquered hand.
Movement and Mechanics
At the heart of the watch is the in-house automatic TAG Heuer Calibre Heuer 02 movement, known for its precision and reliability. The column wheel and oscillating weight, visible through both the skeletonized dial and the sapphire caseback, are highlighted in striking pink, adding to the watch’s technical allure.
Case and Strap
Case: The 39mm diameter case is crafted from lightweight grade-2 titanium with a sleek black DLC coating. This contemporary material not only enhances the watch’s durability but also contrasts beautifully with the bold pink accents found on the counters and hands. The case is water-resistant up to 100 meters.
Strap: The strap is a unique combination of embossed black calfskin and rubber, effectively balancing style and functionality. It is secured with a sandblasted black DLC grade-2 titanium folding clasp featuring double safety pushbuttons and a TAG Heuer shield.
Additional Features
Date Function: A date function is offered at 6 o’clock, with the date window enhanced by light blue Super-LumiNova® for clear visibility.
Brand Markings: The watch face features a rhodium plated TAG Heuer logo, and “SWISS MADE MONACO” is prominently printed to underscore the timepiece’s heritage and craftsmanship.
