Tag Heuer Monza – a sportive automatic chronograph with 40 years of tradition
Collections like Carrera, Grand Carrera or Formula 1 reflect the fact how close the watch brand Tag Heuer has ever been connected to motorsports. This, not least, is owed to the numerous technical innovations with which the company founded by Edouard Heuer in Saint-Imier in 1860 significantly has advanced and characterized the development in the segment of wristwatches. Heuer already received his first patent for a stop mechanism in 1882; later the first hundredth-of-a second chronograph was following, the first chronograph with dials for regattas and world time display, some with third automatic chronograph movement and the first quartz chronograph with analog display. Also in the 21st century, Tag Heuer has not lost any from its innovative ability like the first mechanical movement with belt drive, ceramic bearings and linear oscillating weight from the year 2004 and the first mechanic wrist chronograph with an accuracy of a hundredth of a second that was first presented one year later prove.
Homage to Niki Lauda and his victories
The Tag Heuer Monza is a timekeeper that in particular emphasizes the manufacturers' affinity for motorsports. Since this fascinating chronograph was created by Jack Heuer, the grandson of the founder, in 1976 in order to honor the first victory of the World Championship by Niki Lauda as Ferrari pilot. In the years from 1971 until 1979, the company was functioning as official timekeeper of the Scuderia. The 40th anniversary of the creation that was manufactured back then was celebrated by the company with an attractive new edition.
Monza: The legendary race track in the north of Italy
Even if there are bigger and more important cities in Italy than Monza that is located about 25 kilometers north from Milan, the name still sounds brilliant among motorsports enthusiasts. This is owed to the Autodromo Nazionale Monza, a race track that is located in the Royal Park of Monza and where car races have taken place already since the year 1922. Up to now, the races for the Italian Grand Prix which are integral part of the Formula 1 World Championship since the year 1950, are held in Monza.
Automatic chronograph with character – powered by Calibre 17
The special thing about the Monza Collection is the extraordinary design. The characteristic pillow shape of its case already made it different from other watch models in the 1970ies and has remained one of its main features – inspired by a chronograph model from 1925. The case builds a bridge between history and present. The latest model has a diameter of 42 millimeters and is a little bit larger than its predecessors which diameter was 39 millimeters. The Calibre 17 is operating inside the automatic chronograph. The harmonious appearance and the good readability of the dial benefit from the sub-dials arranged in a relatively spacious distance to each other.
