History of a watch…
The original Heuer Monza was released in 1976. The timepiece celebrated a partnership that had taken racing to the next level. Using new technologies and revolutionary timekeeping systems, Heuer changed motorsport forever. Heuer helped Ferrari overcome a decade-long drought to take the drivers’ and constructors’ world championships in 1975. The Heuer Monza was a symbol of the indelible mark these two icons had left on the racetrack.
The timepiece captured a popular trend during the mid-1970s – black-coated cases that combined the style of instruments on the dashboard of a race car with the tactical style of military gear. The watch was given a black-chromium coating on a base metal case. It also had a matte black dial with black registers, a dramatic shift from the metallic silver and gray-blue dials of the earlier Carreras.
