tag heuer monaco vintage edition replica

The TAG Heuer Monaco Vintage Limited Edition is a new version of the old classic square-faced Monaco watch. The new retro-ed up version has a black dial with orange and blue stripes and a GULF logo in the six o clock spot which matches the orange stitching on the black alligator strap. The look is a tribute to the Porsche 917-Gulf K which was featured in the Steve McQueen 1970 racing film, Le Mans. The watch is available in a limited edition of 4,000 pieces. There is also a very similar steel braceleted TAG Heuer Monaco Vintage Limited Edition Steve McQueen Watch with a red white and blue dial which sells for $3,995 on Amazon. I think I prefer the black dial version even if the Gulf logo is a not exactly my ideal design element.

President Barack Obama has a hankering for TAG Heuer watches. The mainstay for the 44th president is a TAG Heuer Series 1500 Two-Tone Diver watch with a leather strap. This elegant but functionally under-stated timepiece was first launched by the brand in the early 1990s. Obama's watch is believed to have been purchased for around $575 in 1992 or 1993.
