The Heritage
The strap for this watch is made to measure
On the TAG Heuer Monaco the bracelet is drawn as part of the case: no catalogue strap will fit. In the atelier we take the measurements on the watch itself and build the strap on the piece — that is the work of Casati Milano.

Can you fit a standard strap on a TAG Heuer Monaco 1133G?
No, the bracelet is integrated into the case. A standard strap doesn't attach to the lugs. For this model, I craft a bespoke strap directly in the atelier, shaping the attachment to your case's geometry.
How does the bespoke strap work for the Monaco?
You come to <a href="/pages/casati-booking">Atelier Casati Milano</a>, by appointment only. I take measurements directly from your case and build the attachment millimetre-perfect. It's pure tailoring, nothing off-the-shelf.
Which leather do you recommend for the TAG Heuer Monaco?
I favour Tuscan leather with vegetable tanning: it has that sporting hardness that mirrors the Monaco's racing character. If you want something softer and more elegant, Barenia ages beautifully and develops a unique patina over time.
How long does a well-made strap last?
With proper care, good leather lasts years. It depends on use, sun exposure, and humidity. Unlike metal bracelets, leather changes appearance — it ages, it patinas — and that's part of its beauty. An occasional brush keeps it alive.
Why is the 1133G Monaco so distinctive?
It was the first automatic chronograph with a square waterproof case, in 1969. Steve McQueen wore it in *Le Mans*. It has a left-hand crown and geometry that defies every rule of classical watchmaking. A watch that breaks conventions deserves a strap built the same way.
