Bamford Watch Department and TAG Heuer first announced their plans to collaboratively customize watches together last year, and recently unveiled a reworked version of the 'Monaco.' The two labels present the new edition of the iconic timepiece at Baselworld this year. The elevated watch is the very first and official in-house collaborative timepiece.
The updated Monaco watch is encased in a solid carbon case, with a full black dial and chronograph counters of aqua blue colors. The PVD steel push buttons are finished in a black colorway to tie it all together for a classic contemporary look. In terms of interior movement, it notes Caliber 11, and is also water-resistant of up to 100 meters. The band is constructed from an alligator leather material, and the Monaco timepiece will be available at TAG Heuer locations and select online stores.
