The regular-production Monaco in blue – arguably the quintessential Monaco Replica design – received a substantial upgrade, with the ETA movement replaced with the in-house cal. Heuer 02. The Monaco Calibre Heuer 02 is now also available with a black dial.

The new bracelet is modelled on the 1970s original, but has been made more robust while being finished better.

While the Tag Heuer Monaco Heuer 02 Replica has a new movement and bracelet, it retains the well finished case that’s a wearable 39 mm, along with the symmetrical, “Compax” dial layout.

Despite the retro style, the bracelet is still reassuringly modern and solid in construction, unlike the slightly dinky vintage original. While the Tag Heuer Replica vintage bracelet was made up of folded steel links, each link of the new bracelet is solid.
