The TAG Heuer Monaco remains one of the most recognisable watches in modern horology, and the 2026 versions of the icon leap ahead in design and technology. The new TAG Heuer Chronograph and TAG Heuer Evergraph build on the legacy and foundation laid in 1969 – as the world’s first square, water-resistant, automatic chronograph.

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

TAG Heuer Monaco Chronograph

For the Monaco Chronograph, the watchmaker has kept movement refinement and everyday usability in focus. The three references include the signature blue dial inspired by Steve McQueen in Le Mans, a green sunray-brushed version referencing British racing heritage, and a more formal black dial paired with an 18K 5N rose gold bezel.

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

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

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

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

TAG Heuer Monaco Evergraph

With the Monaco Evergraph, TAG Heuer has focused on rethinking the chronograph itself. There is the new Calibre TH80-00 in focus, an automatic movement that replaces traditional levers and springs with flexible bistable components. These components control the start, stop, and reset functions, reducing friction and wear while ensuring consistent performance over time. Developed in collaboration with Vaucher Manufacture Fleurier, the movement operates at a high frequency of 5 Hz, offers a 70-hour power reserve, and is COSC-certified, while the TH-Carbonspring oscillator adds magnetic resistance and stability.

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

The case measures 40 mm and is crafted in Grade 5 titanium, available either in a natural finish with blue accents or in a black DLC-coated version with red highlights. The crown remains at 9 o’clock, with pushers at 2 and 4 o’clock, and the watch is fitted with a domed sapphire crystal and a square sapphire caseback. Water resistance is rated to 100 metres.

The Evergraph is paired with a rubber strapwith textile embossing and colour-matched stitching, secured by a titanium folding clasp. Positioned at a significantly higher level, it is priced at approximately INR 27,55,000.
