To honor the 40th anniversary of the eminent Le Mans race, Swiss specialists TAG Heuer are launching a magnificent state-of-the-art watch, the Monaco Twenty Four Concept Chronograph.
Inspired by powerful race vehicles and adrenaline-surging car cockpits, the watch carries a distinct “24” on the blue and orange livery of Gulf Oil, the colors that defined Steve McQueen in the 1970 film classic "Le Mans." The remarkable TAG Heuer timepiece is powered by the superior TAG Heuer Calibre 36 Movement, boasts a unique tubular design and is made of industrial-grade tungstem, a magnificent combination of performance, elegance and strength.
Scheduled to take place on the 13th and 14th of June, the 24h Le Mans is Europe’s biggest endurance race and the Monaco Twenty Four Concept Chronograph reflects its energetic spirit with timeless sophistication.
