The replica TAG Heuer Monaco 24 Calibre 36 Automatic Chronograph has been produced in various colorways, but the sunny disposition of the orange dial detail wholeheartedly captured my attention.
On this particular model, the shock-absorbing mounts are presented in a metallic orange color.The hour and minute hands are rhodium plated and lined with luminescent material. The central chronograph seconds hand is presented in a cheerful orange shade. Below noon, “24” is proudly proclaimed in a modern font, referencing the famous 24-hour race in Le Mans.
Two square subdials are positioned at 3 and 6 o’clock. The corners of each subdial are rounded, softening their profile and providing cohesion with the neighboring rounded lines. The subdial at 3 o’clock is a 30-minute register, whereas the subdial opposite displays the running seconds.At 6 o’clock, an elongated, curved aperture reveals the date. Encircling the dial is a minute rail featuring luminescent white markings.
The case is larger than that of the original 1969 TAG Heuer Monaco replica, with a diameter of 40.5mm. The caseback is secured with four screws and features a large, square sapphire crystal, revealing virtually all of the movement.The watch is fitted with a black leather strap, featuring a bold orange underside and folding clasp which shuts with a superbly positive action.Caliber 36 is based on the iconic Zenith El Primero movement, oscillating with a frequency of 36,000 vph (5 Hz).
