TAG Heuer Monaco Gulf Chronograph Calibre 11

This item is a TAG Heuer Monaco Gulf Chronograph, easily identifiable by its distinctive square case and the prominent 'TAG HEUER' engraving on the case back, along with the model number 'CBL2115'. The watch features an exhibition case back, revealing the intricate mechanics of the automatic movement, which is explicitly marked 'CAL HEUER 02' and 'SWISS MADE SINCE 1860'. The visible movement components appear to be well-finished, indicative of quality watchmaking. The watch case itself is crafted from polished and brushed stainless steel, exhibiting a robust and angular design characteristic of the Monaco series. The strap, a key identifying feature, is a vibrant orange leather material with perforations, reminiscent of vintage racing straps. There is a contrasting black leather lining or insert near the lugs where it connects to the case, and the 'TAG HEUER' branding is also visible on an internal component of the movement. The watch also features what appear to be chronographic pushers on the side of the case, and a fluted crown, typical of an automatic watch with chronograph functionality. Engravings on the case back also state '100 METERS', indicating water resistance. The overall condition appears good with some minor wear signs on the polished surfaces, consistent with a pre-owned timepiece. The unique aesthetic, with the racing-inspired strap and the square case, firmly places it within the luxury sports watch category, specifically referencing the iconic Gulf racing livery. This particular model, 'CBL2115', corresponds to the current generation of the Monaco Gulf, featuring the Calibre Heuer 02 movement, and would date from roughly 2021 or later. The craftsmanship, material quality, and heritage branding are all indicators of a high-end luxury watch.
