The TAG Heuer Monaco Skeleton represents a new direction for the classic watch.There’s no questioning the icon status of Heuer among racing chronographs, and one of the main reasons is the Monaco. Boldfaced imitators aside, there really isn’t another watch like it, and for good reason: it was a tough nut to crack. Putting a then-new automatic chronograph movement in a square case (and then making the whole thing waterproof) was quite the coup in 1969. And the legend was cemented forever when the Monaco appeared on the wrist of Steve McQueen in Le Mans. Heuer’s fortunes waned by the dawn of the ‘80s, but after the formation of TAG Heuer, things were looking up, and the new company began to reach back into the archives for inspiration. Fans were absolutely thrilled upon the revival of the Monaco in 1997, and the brand has uncorked some real lookers in the ensuing years. And now, the new Monaco Skeleton is here, with surprising design touches that make it one of TAG Heuer’s most audacious yet. So let’s take a look at the retro-futuristic stylings of the new Skeleton series, available in three variants.
