The TAG Heuer Monaco remains one of the mostrecognisable watches in modern horology, and the 2026 versions of the icon leapahead in design and technology. The new TAG Heuer Chronograph and TAG HeuerEvergraph build on the legacy and foundation laid in 1969 – as the world’sfirst square, water-resistant, automatic chronograph.

Three models of the new Monaco Chronograph andtwo references of the Evergraph have been unveiled at Watches and Wonders 2026.

TAG Heuer Monaco Chronograph

For the Monaco Chronograph, the watchmaker haskept movement refinement and everyday usability in focus. The three referencesinclude the signature blue dial inspired by Steve McQueen in Le Mans, a greensunray-brushed version referencing British racing heritage, and a more formalblack dial paired with an 18K 5N rose gold bezel.

The case has been redesigned in 39 mm Grade 5titanium, with sharper edges that curve along the wrist for improved ergonomicsand comfort. The crown remains positioned at 9 o’clock, just like the originalCalibre 11, which powered the first Monaco, while the pushers sit at 2 and 4o’clock. A domed, bevelled sapphire crystal and a sapphire caseback completethe case architecture, with water resistance rated to 100 metres.

The dial retains the bi-compax layout, with achronograph minute counter at 3 o’clock and a running seconds subdial at 9o’clock, along with an angled date window at 6 o’clock. The applied indices andhands are treated with Super-LumiNova for legibility in the dark, while thecentral chronograph hand adds a strong visual element.

Driving the new Monaco Chronograph is theautomatic in-house Calibre TH20-11, with a modernised architecture based on TAGHeuer’s TH20 platform and offering an 80-hour power reserve.

All three versions are paired with a blackperforated calfskin leather strap and a Grade 5 titanium folding clasp. Theprices range from approximately INR 10,55,000 for titanium models toapproximately INR 14,75,000 for the two-tone version.

TAG Heuer Monaco Evergraph

With the Monaco Evergraph, TAG Heuer hasfocused on rethinking the chronograph itself. There is the new Calibre TH80-00in focus, an automatic movement that replaces traditional levers and springswith flexible bistable components. These components control the start, stop,and reset functions, reducing friction and wear while ensuring consistentperformance over time. Developed in collaboration with Vaucher ManufactureFleurier, the movement operates at a high frequency of 5 Hz, offers a 70-hourpower reserve, and is COSC-certified, while the TH-Carbonspring oscillator addsmagnetic resistance and stability.

The dial is fully openworked, where thechronograph components are clearly visible through the transparent sapphire.The layout is symmetrical, with a chronograph minute counter at 3 o’clock and asmall seconds display at 9 o’clock, while applied indices and openworked handswith Super-LumiNova ensure readability.
