The 2016 Heuer Monza 40th Anniversary edition is one of the most anticipated TAG Heuer Mens Replica releases for some time, and for those of you waiting to see and read more about the latest from TAG Heuer’s re-edition range, you’re in luck, because we’ve gone hands-on with the Monza for one of the first detailed reviews. The 2016 model is an perfect blend of the past- two parts 1976 Monza and two parts 2000 Monza- two replica watches that actually had very little in common other than a name.
2016 TAG Heuer Monza Calibre Replica To cut to the chase, the 2016 model borrows the dial and hands of the 1976 model and adds those to an enlarged version of the 2000 Monza case. In many ways the combination shouldn’t work, because those are two very different replica watches, but it does. The 1976 Monza was effectively a sporty, special edition Carrera, and one of the first replica watches to offer a blackened PVD case. The 2000 version was an update of a 1930’s Heuer mono-pusher chronograph with a look that veered towards the formal rather than the sporty. Yet here we are with a design in perfect harmony and looking every bit a worthy successor to the Monza name.
2016 TAG Heuer Monza Calibre 17 – 9 Having displayed the replica watch back in March at the Baselworld show, the good news for those waiting is that the Monza will go on sale in the next few weeks, and we were lucky enough to get our hands on the Monza for this in-depth review ahead of launch. And good news, we had a camera with us to bring you the most detailed photos yet of the new Chronograph.
One of the recent trends for replica watch brands reissuing vintage-style replica watches is the use of yellowed-lume. It’s meant to replicate the yellowing of white lume that happens over time, turing the original white markers yellow. We’re not really fans of this “faux-vintage” look, and would rather wait for the colouring to naturally happen! Still, TAG Heuer has opted for a more subtle cream colouring than other brands have used, meaning that while you’ll notice it in close-up macro shots like these, on the wrist it’s less obvious.
The hour markers are a perfect replica of the original “lume strips” on the original Monza and are matched perfectly to the design of the hands.
