TAG Heuer Monaco CW2111.FC617

This TAG Heuer Monaco reference CW2111.FC617, purchased in 2009, is presented in good condition and includes its original black leather strap as well as an official TAG Heuer jubilee-style bracelet. A true design icon, the Monaco remains one of the most recognisable chronographs in Swiss watchmaking, celebrated for its bold square case and motorsport heritage.

The 38 mm stainless-steel case retains the signature square geometry that made the Monaco legendary. Its mix of polished and brushed finishes gives a strong, architectural presence on the wrist, while the domed sapphire crystal enhances its vintage-inspired silhouette. The case is water resistant to 30 metres and fitted with chronograph pushers positioned on the right side for ergonomic balance.

The black dial offers a sleek, modern interpretation of the Monaco aesthetic. Two silver sub-dials — a 30-minute counter at 9 o’clock and a small seconds at 3 o’clock — balance the layout, while the date window at 6 o’clock adds everyday practicality. Rhodium-plated hour markers and hands, filled with luminous material, ensure clear legibility in all lighting conditions.

Inside beats the TAG Heuer calibre 17, an automatic chronograph movement based on the ETA 2894-2, offering reliable performance and a 42-hour power reserve. The movement can be viewed through the sapphire caseback, showcasing TAG Heuer’s fine mechanical finishing.

This watch is supplied with its original perforated black leather racing strap — a hallmark of the Monaco design — as well as an official TAG Heuer jubilee-style stainless-steel bracelet, giving the piece dual versatility for formal or casual wear.

The TAG Heuer Monaco CW2111.FC617 captures the daring spirit of the 1970s motorsport era while maintaining timeless sophistication. This 2009 example, in good condition and accompanied by both original and official TAG Heuer straps, offers a distinctive addition to any serious watch collection.
