TAG Heuer’s latest Monaco Chronograph captures the energy and excitement of Las Vegas. Inspired by the skyline of The Strip at night, the 39-mm black DLC coated titanium case frames a black skeleton dial with vivid pink accents. Pink lacquer coats the central chronograph hand, elements of the counters at 3 and 9 o’clock, and the indexes that follow the lines of the dial’s skeleton architecture. Pink accents also adorn the in-house automatic movement that powers the watch. Visible through the sapphire case back, the column wheel at 12 o’clock and the oscillating weight are both coated in pink. The ‘Vegas Monaco’ comes fitted on a rugged leather/rubber strap secured by a titanium folding clasp with double safety push-buttons.
