New MONACO Calibre 12 Chronograph

The 40th Anniversary edition of the revolutionary Monaco Chronograph: blue or black dial with sub-dials at 3 and 9, 39mm square case in 316L stainless steel, and a stylish alligator strap. Steve McQueen’s Le Mans watch completely re-engineered — with the beating heart of the all-new, high-performance Calibre 12 movement visible through the sapphire crystal caseback — yet faithful to the groundbreaking aesthetics of the original. A celebratory icon of Swiss watchmaking tradition at its most avant-garde.
