The Tag Heuer Monaco of Steve McQueen

The 1970 Tag Heuer Monaco was personally selected by McQueen for his endurance-racer character Mike Delaney, who also donned a jumpsuit with a 1960’s-era Tag Heuer logo stitched onto the chest. Mounted on a black alligator strap, the 1970 Monaco was the first square-cased watch to feature an automatic chronograph (replica tag heuer monaco steve mcqueen).

It was also one of the first examples of Heuer’s Caliber 11 movements, which were first released in 1969 to honor the Monaco Grand Prix.

To authenticate its history, the blue-faced beauty comes with a slightly-worn decal affixed to the back of the case denoting its reference number of 115, as well as a factory-printed certificate indicating that it was sold to the prop master of Le Mans.
