Flip through the latest issue of Gulf Weekly.
TO celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Steve McQueen's trendsetting Monaco watch and to pay tribute to Tag Heuer's new partnership with oil company Gulf, a new limited edition version of the vintage chronograph will be launched worldwide next month. The seriously upgraded version, with an elegant, anti-reflective sapphire crystal front and back, houses the Tag Heuer calibre 12 automatic chronograph movement, a high-performance all-Swiss engine based on the Dubois Depraz 2008. The larger (39mm) case gives the watch a more contemporary look, while the orange and blue meteor dial design, inspired by the Porsche Gulf 917K driven by Steve McQueen in Le Mans, highlights its professional racing heritage. With a vintage Gulf logo and date window at 6 o'clock, small second dial at 3 o'clock and chronograph minute dial and a faceted and a stylish grey alligator strap with grey stitching, the 5,000-piece limited edition is a racing purist's dream machine.
