TAG Heuer - Monaco Gulf Special Edition CAW211R

WHAT WE LOVE:

The TAG Heuer Monaco Ref. CAW211R.FC6401 is a vibrant tribute to one of motorsport’s most iconic liveries — Gulf Racing. This special edition pairs the square-case legacy of the Monaco with the unmistakable powder blue and orange stripes made famous on race cars of the 1960s and ’70s, most notably by Steve McQueen in Le Mans.

The dial is the centrepiece. The deep blue sunray surface carries the Gulf logo above the date window at 6 o'clock, and on the right side of the dial, the two iconic Gulf stripes — a vivid sky blue and a warm orange — cut across the face in a composition that is immediately recognisable to anyone who knows motorsport. The pearl white sub-dials at 3 and 9 o'clock float against this background, and the red lacquered central chronograph seconds hand sweeps across everything with the kind of theatrical energy the Monaco has always delivered. The vintage Heuer logo at 12 o'clock is a deliberate nod to the original — this is a watch that knows exactly where it came from. The blue perforated leather racing strap with orange stitching and orange inner lining completes the package without a single wasted detail.

WHAT'S INSIDE:

Powering the watch is TAG Heuer’s Calibre 11 — a modern take on the historic left-crown chronograph layout. This automatic movement features a 40-hour power reserve and offers a quickset date at 6 o’clock, along with chronograph functionality via a two-register layout: small seconds at 3 o’clock and a 30-minute totaliser at 9 o’clock. The caseback features a sapphire exhibition window, showcasing the movement and the engraved Gulf Edition designation.
