This attractive and authentic Heuer Monza dates back to 1976.
The Heuer Monza holds a special place in the history of watchmaking, especially among motorsport enthusiasts. This model became famous when a Heuer Monza was presented to Niki Lauda in 1976 for his Formula 1 World Championship title. A short time later, the Monza appeared in the official Heuer catalog.
One of the characteristic features of the Monza is its cushion-shaped case. This striking case shape combined with the black PVD coating gives the watch a wonderful vintage charm and a strong presence on the wrist.
The red accents on the black dial and the beautiful luminous material in the markers and hands also add to the special look. The pulsometer and tachymeter scales are located on the edge of the dial. The trademark of this Monza is the sub-dial with small seconds at 10 o'clock.
The Heuer Monza is powered by the automatic Caliber 15, which is based on the legendary Caliber 11.
