If your heart races at the sound of screeching tires, if speed enthralls you and your mind is thrilled by performance, the TAG Heuer Monza Flyback Chronometer unveiled in Singapore during LVMH Watch Week is bound to appeal to you. Born in 1976 to celebrate Niki Lauda’s historic victory in the Formula 1 World Championship a year earlier, this chronograph is making its comeback in a special edition that should delight motorsport enthusiasts and collectors alike. This spectacular and daring model is stunning in terms of both its design and ‘engine’. Its robust and ultra-light carbon case, black skeletonized dial punctuated by translucent blue sapphire crystal counters, along with the luminescence of the hands, hour-markers and date, evoke the tech-driven aesthetics of contemporary racing machines. Pulsating under the ‘hood’ is Calibre Heuer 02 COSC-certified Flyback, a champion of precision whose finishing can be admired through the sapphire caseback. Ready to hit the track!
