The Heritage

The TAG Heuer Monaco CBL218B.FT6236 is the modern evolution of an icon born in 1969, the first automatic chronograph worn by Steve McQueen in Le Mans. This model combines the bold square case geometry with contemporary titanium, offering exceptional versatility. It features the TAG Heuer Calibre Heuer 02 automatic movement with chronograph function, hours, minutes, small seconds, and date. The titanium case measures 39 mm in diameter and features a natural patina that evolves over time. The lug width is 22 mm, a specific measurement that ensures compatibility with a wide range of aftermarket straps, allowing easy alternation between different materials and styles.
