Heuer introduced its Monaco chronograph in March 1969, as one of its first three automatic chronographs – along with the Autavia and the Carrera – and in retrospect we can say that, with its radical shape, size and colors, the Monaco was ahead of its time. The Monaco was produced in a variety of configurations, including automatic and manual models, with dials in blue, gray and black, but by the late 1970s, Heuer had stopped producing the Monaco. The Autavia and Carrera were introduced in the early 1960s, and lasted into the mid-1980s, but the Monaco had a much shorter life in the Heuer catalog, the combination of its radical style and conditions in the Swiss watch industry bringing the model to an early end.

In 1996, TAG Heuer created its first re-edition of the Carrera and the 10-year break in production seems to have served the company well. So, it is not surprising that in 1997, TAG Heuer would follow this same playbook in creating a re-edition of the Monaco.

While the Carrera offered by TAG Heuer in 1996 was a “re-edition”, in that it closely followed the form of the 1963 Carrera, enthusiasts may debate whether the Monaco offered by TAG Heuer in 1997 was properly called a re-edition. The new Monaco (CS2110) was very different from any Heuer predecessor, having a black dial and two black registers, one a 30-minute capacity chronograph and the other showing running seconds. The model was offered in a limited edition of 5,000 watches.
