TAG HEUER MONACO Split-Seconds Chronograph AIR 1

 The all-new, innovative TAG Heuer Monaco Split-Seconds Chronograph Air 1

 

The Monaco collection is redefined once again, fusing additive manufacturing, titanium construction, and minute-by-minute precision into a chronograph designed like a supercar. replica swiss watches

Like the Carrera collection, the TAG Heuer Monaco has long been a paragon of technical excellence. The new Monaco Split-Seconds Chronograph Air 1 takes this concept into a new decade, combining a split-seconds movement, a completely redesigned case structure, and additive manufacturing technology. Let's admire this watch, arguably one of the most cutting-edge in the history of the Monaco collection.

The Air 1 is the latest version of the TAG Heuer TH81-00 split-seconds chronograph movement. This movement first appeared in the 2023 Only Watch special edition and officially joined the TAG Heuer regular product catalog in 2024. Today, it is housed in a lightweight, skeletonized carbon fiber case developed in-house by TAG Heuer LAB, its design inspired by supercars. This is not merely an interpretation of the product itself, but a revolution in craftsmanship. TAG Heuer has redefined replica luxury watches cases by extensively applying Selective Laser Melting (SLM) technology and integrating titanium components into the movement, applying racing engineering methods to the case design. This technological innovation has yielded tangible results: significantly reduced weight, simplified structure, and a completely new aesthetic language for the brand's high-end chronographs. Let's take a closer look.

The case is 41 mm wide and 15.2 mm thick, crafted from Grade 5 titanium using Selective Laser Melting (SLM) technology. SLM technology allows TAG Heuer to create a one-piece mesh/exoskeleton structure for the case, with an internally hollowed-out honeycomb mesh, something impossible to achieve with subtractive CNC machining alone. The final result is a clearly visible three-dimensional structure: a sandblasted titanium mesh surrounds the movement, while the bezel mesh is laser-cut from 2N gold. This meticulously designed material combination perfectly blends high-performance metal with precious details. The Grade 5 titanium bezel is treated with a black DLC coating, and the mesh edges are beveled, resulting in a total weight of only 85 grams, exuding a high-tech feel. Water resistance is 30 meters, consistent with the previous Monaco split-seconds watch series.

The translucent sapphire crystal dial offers an unobstructed view of the movement, its design prioritizing practicality and legibility: white Super-LumiNova luminous blocks, gold-tipped hour and minute hands, and three subdials (minute counter at 3 o'clock, hour counter at 9 o'clock, and small seconds at 6 o'clock). The central hand of the split-seconds chronograph is lacquered in gold; the central hand of the main chronograph is lacquered in white. The split-seconds pusher at 9 o'clock is crafted from solid 2N gold.high quality replica watches

The new Monaco Split-Seconds Chronograph Air 1 is powered by the familiar TH81-00 movement, a high-frequency automatic split-seconds movement developed in collaboration with Vaucher Manufacture Fleurier and featuring TAG Heuer's signature titanium components. The TH81-00 is a descendant of the VMF 6710 series (derived from the PF361/PF361 split-seconds movement), but redesigned to meet TAG Heuer's performance goals. It vibrates at 36,000 vibrations per hour, has a power reserve of 65 hours (55 hours with the chronograph function activated), and features column-wheel control and a split-seconds module. The main components are crafted from Grade 5 titanium to reduce inertia; the movement weighs approximately 30 grams. Finishing details include hand-beveling and a honeycomb rotor filled with gold lacquer.
