Monaco Chronograph Le Mans Blue - Sapphire Case Back

TAG Heuer Monaco ref. 2111-0 — Chronograph — Blue Dial — Blue Leather Strap — Pre-Owned 2022

“From the blazing asphalt of Le Mans to the silver screen, the drivers’ square icon.”

It is in the heart of the Sarthe night, under blinding headlights and the thunder of engines, that the Monaco reveals its true meaning. On the Le Mans circuit, drivers live a race against time, paced by seconds as much as by heartbeats. In this world where focus merges with speed, a watch is not an accessory: it is an ally, a reassuring presence on the wrist. In 1971, Steve McQueen immortalized this bond in the film Le Mans. In his role as Michael Delaney, he wore a blue, square TAG Heuer Monaco—instantly recognizable. More than a stylistic choice, that vibrant blue dial became the emblem of a generation of drivers and enthusiasts. Through McQueen, the Monaco transcended the track to become a style legend, a symbol of elegant masculinity and an unapologetic taste for risk and speed.

Launched in 1969, the Monaco was the first water-resistant automatic chronograph with a square case—a technical and aesthetic revolution from Heuer. From its debut, it stood out for its boldness: a radical design, a groundbreaking blue dial, and an original subdial layout. Quickly tied to motor racing, it sealed its place in legend thanks to Steve McQueen and Le Mans. Since then, the Monaco has continually reinvented itself while staying true to its DNA as a sporty, avant-garde watch. Reference 2111-0 carries this legacy forward: square case, deep blue dial, luminous hands, and precise chronograph counters—it invites you to relive the unique atmosphere of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, where every second counts and a man measures himself as much against the machine as against his own limits.

This TAG Heuer Monaco ref. 2111-0 is equipped with a high-precision automatic chronograph movement. Its square stainless-steel case measures 39 mm per side and houses a sunburst blue dial with two chronograph registers and a date window at 6 o’clock. A sapphire crystal protects the ensemble, ensuring durability and legibility. Water-resistant to 100 meters, it is fitted with a blue stitched leather strap finished with a signed TAG Heuer deployant clasp. A pre-owned 2022 model, perfectly serviced and covered by a 3-year Mostra warranty.

The Monaco is the very embodiment of sport-chic style. Its distinctive look makes it instantly identifiable—perfect for the modern man seeking a timepiece that is both elegant and rich in history. It wears as well on the track as in the city, with a suit or a leather jacket. A true object of character, it embodies Steve McQueen’s spirit of freedom and daring, and continues to appeal to those who want to combine performance and elegance. At Mostra, every watch is carefully inspected and serviced in our Aix-en-Provence workshop. This TAG Heuer Monaco ref. 2111-0 is delivered with a certificate of authenticity, a 3-year warranty, and the assurance of acquiring an emblematic model of horological and motorsport history.
