MODEL / REFERENCE: Heuer Monza ref. 150.511, serial no. 360039.
DIAL+HANDS: The dial is very well preserved and shows a sharp contrasts of vibrant red and white accents with the black matte dial giving the watch this sporty look, a favourite among collectors. TAG Heuer still offers this dial’s colour combination today. The printing on the dial is still very crisp and the hour markers have aged beautifully, developing a warm custard patina as the Tritium appears to be intact. The outer periphery of the dial combines both a Tachymeter and Pulsometer scales. They’re legible and in very good condition. The hands are original and are in mint condition. The Tritium has developed a matching patina to the hour indexes.
CRYSTAL: The plexy crystal has currently some scratches and will be polished by my watchmaker.
MOVEMENT: This timepiece is powered by the workhorse caliber 15 automatic chronograph movement. It features a permanent small seconds subdial at 10 o’clock. The date at 6 o’clock and 30-minute register at 3 o’clock. The chronograph starts, stops and resets as intended.
CASE: The brass case is chrome plated and measures 38.5mm in diameter and 43.5mm lug to lug giving the watch a charming presence on the wrist. The case shows some signs of wear throughout meaning that this watch was no safe queen and has served its purpose as a true tool watch. The chrome plating started to fade off on the right side between the pushers as well as on the rim underneath the caseback. Some dings are worth mentioning and can be seen on the bezel and upper right lug. Please refer to the photos.
CASEBACK: The stainless-steel screw-in caseback is in very good condition and is signed with the Monza sign above the Heuer logo. The reference number can be found along with a serial number stamped beneath.
CROWN + PUSHERS: The crown is signed and is situated on the left side of the watch and operates as it should. The two integrated chronograph pushers can be found on the right side and they operate flawlessly.
BRACELET: The Monza is fitted with a new black leather racing style strap.ACCESSORIES: Saffiano leather watch roll
The chrome plated Monza is highly sought after by collectors mainly because of their rarity compared to the PVD coated model. Unfortunately, only a few chrome plated watches still survive, and even less and less good examples like this one still survive today.
