TAG Heuer Monza Flyback Chronometer – a modern interpretation of a timeless classic
The Heuer Monza introduced in 1976, celebrated Niki Lauda’s historic 1975 victory in the F1 World Championship. That season, Lauda won his first world title, with five wins for the Scuderia Ferrari of which Heuer was the technical timing partner since 1971.
In 2023, TAG Heuer reintroduces the TAG Heuer Monza in a striking carbon rendition.
Its striking black dial features a two-register layout with a translucent fumé blue sapphire crystal chronograph counter at 3 and the permanent second at 6 o’clock. The unique skeletonized dial reveals the movement underneath and echoes the piece’s mechanical roots. At 9 o’clock, the date window is in blue luminescent, a first for TAG Heuer, and the blue lacquered indexes and black and white lacquered hours and minutes hands are applied with Super-LumiNova® for optimal legibility in low light.
Delivering high precision and high performance timekeeping the TAG Heuer Monza Flyback Chronometer is powered by the in-house Calibre Heuer 02 Flyback, a chronograph movement with COSC certification.
The notable advantage of a flyback function is the ability to reset the chronograph without stopping it, using the black DLC steel pushbuttons. Such a feature was only available on the TAG Heuer Autavia in the contemporary collection until now and allows for even faster and more accurate timekeeping.
