TAG Heuer Monaco Gulf Special Edition Watch Review

The latest iteration of the TAG Heuer Monaco Gulf watch was introduced last year to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the relationship between the brand and Gulf racing Since this newest Monaco Gulf watch is only stylistically different from the standard TAG Heuer Monaco calibre 11, I want to spend some time going through the evolution of the Gulf Monaco so everyone can understand its context, evolution, and history CW211A.

While this Monaco Gulf celebrates the 50th anniversary of the relationship between the watchmaker and the oil company, the first Gulf co-branded Monaco came out 12 years ago in 2005 As with the CW2118, this Gulf II Monaco came in a limited edition run of 4,000 units Two years later saw the limited edition Monaco Gulf ref.

It's very similar to the strap on the standard Monaco Calibre 11, but I do want to give TAG Heuer credit for abandoning the alligator straps that all the previous Gulf Monaco watches came on Oddly, TAG Heuer used the same name for the Calibre 11 used in the Monaco Gulf. . Source
