TAG Heuer is offering a line-up of elegant watches in iconic designs that are ideal Eid gifts for both men and women.
TAG Heuer watches come with Swiss heritage and precision engineering that have stood the test of time.
Whether it’s the motor-racing inspired TAG Heuer Formula 1 Collection, the Heuer Monaco Calibre 11 sported by Steve McQueen for him, or the revitalised classic design of the Carrera Lady Collection adorned with rose-gold and diamond dial for her, nothing can compare to the elation of receiving a true icon, the company says.
Formula 1 Collection: It is designed for a high speed life on and off the racetrack. Choose the Formula 1 with Black Opalin dial for a suave and sophisticated look, or the Formula 1 with Blue Sunray Brushed dial for a classic look and a contemporary feel. This collection is inspired by the extreme performance of Formula 1 teams and is worn by champion drivers around the world. It’s tough enough for the pros, but comfortable enough for everyday use.
This chronograph is designed for a life in motion. It’s strong enough to survive even the most dangerous racetracks and masculine and trendy.
Monaco Calibre 11 Gulf Special Edition: Launched simultaneously in Geneva and New York in 1969, the Heuer Monaco was the first square and water-resistant automatic chronograph in the history of Swiss watchmaking. The watch was a break with the aesthetic codes of traditional watchmaking. However, the origins of the revolution lay inside the watch: The famous Calibre 11 that was the first automatic chronograph movement to be commercialised in the history of watchmaking.
The TAG Heuer Monaco Calibre 11 Gulf Special Edition is a new edition of the classic Heuer Monaco, launched in celebration of a new partnership between automotive icons TAG Heuer and Gulf Oil International.
TAG Heuer and Gulf have crossed paths several times, but the most notable was in 1971, in the film "Le Mans", when Steve McQueen wore the Heuer Monaco while driving a Gulf-Porsche 917K that featured the Gulf logo. In fact, McQueen insisted on wearing the watch throughout filming of the cinematic classic.
The colours of the iconic Gulf brand are referenced in the design of the Monaco Calibre 11 Gulf Special Edition. As a reminder of its origins and sporting pedigree, a light blue and an orange stripe of Gulf’s renowned racing colours have been added to the dial, while the Gulf logo also appears at 6 o'clock.
With its 39 mm size, crown on the left, legendary petroleum blue dial with two white counters, diamond-polished horizontal hour indices, inscribed vintage Heuer logo, and Calibre 11 automatic chronograph with date and water-resistance to 100 metres, the Monaco Gulf has all the attributes of the classic Monaco, enhanced for the modern enthusiast.
The piece is completed by an exquisite petroleum blue leather strap with orange topstitching, for an elegant look and another nod to the Gulf logo. The Monaco Gulf is a beautiful interpretation that respects the iconic automotive heritage of TAG Heuer and a contemporary icon for all automotive racing purists. An incredible gift for the vintage-loving man in your life, the TAG Heuer Monaco Calibre 11 Gulf Special Edition is not only a vintage collector’s item, but will never go out of style.
Carrera Lady Collection: The TAG Heuer Carrera Lady collection takes its inspiration from the world of sport. These models are sporty, iconic classics, featuring their characteristic faceted lugs and clear, highly legible dial.
The new 39 mm Carrera Blue is part of this collection and features its signature codes with a beautiful deep blue dial. For a feminine touch, and to add an edge to the look, the appliques and hands are rose gold-plated. The 32 mm Carrera Rose Gold with diamonds features an additional 12 diamonds on the exquisite mother-of-pearl dial, and a refined slender look for any occasion.
