Limited to 1911 numbered pieces, Tag Heuer Watches introduced the Monza Calibre 36 Re-Version automatic chronograph at Basel 2011. The rationale for the title is that in 1911 the model released the Time of Journey 12 hour Dashboard Chronograph that was specifically designed for airplanes and cars. This made it simpler to measure time in the air or whereas driving and was highly regarded amongst aviators and automobile enthusiasts. This latest timepiece seems virtually exactly like the original Heuer Monza chronograph that was introduced in 1933. Tag Heuer Replica

It features a typical pair of chrono pushers positioned at 2 and four o'clock. The crown is smaller than the original and is done is a polished classic look. The dial has over-sized Arabic numerals with "previous rhodium" luminescence coating on them and on the hand markers. Chemin de fer indexes are used in the counters. Defending the white dial is a curved, anti-reflective sapphire crystal. MONZA lettering is at 12 o'clock.

It is water-proof against one hundred meters and is finished with a brown leather strap with the Heuer brand on the interior side. The strap is secured with a folding buckle with safety push buttons and the Heuer logo. It is a very appealing vintage watch.
System One racing comes into the story of the original design of the watch when in 1975 Niki Lauda gained the world championship for Ferrari. Heuer was official timekeeper and to honor this win, Jack Heuer reworked an current 1930's model into a special restricted edition series he referred to as the Monza.
