TAG Heuer has cemented its entry into the 2025 Formula 1 season with a timekeeping masterpiece: the TAG Heuer Monaco Split-Seconds F1. Limited edition of 10 pieces, white ceramic, open dial, exclusive rattrapante movement – and all spiced up with David
When it comes to luxury watches, TAG Heuer doesn't play it safe - especially not when it's once again the official timekeeper of Formula 1. To mark its grand return to the fastest sport in the world, they've unveiled TAG Heuer Monaco Split-Seconds Chronograph F1 – a watch that is not only a tribute to the legendary chronograph from Monaco, but also a handcrafted jewel of modern horological engineering.
And if you think this is just another overpriced wrist toy for rich uncles from Abu Dhabi – you might be right. But, hey, has a rattrapante function, which means you can measure two different time components at the same time. This is no longer a watch. This is a mini racing team on your wrist.
The white ceramic TAG Heuer Monaco Split-Seconds F1 that's more resilient than Max Verstappen's ego
The entire case of this watch – 41 mm pure, white ceramic – is not just an aesthetic choice. It is about technologically advanced material, which is extremely hard, scratch-resistant, and virtually indestructible. On top of that sits boxed sapphire crystal, which adds some retro-glamour with a touch of brutal precision.

But the most hypnotic element? Skeleton dial, which allows you to look directly into TH81-00 hand-made automatic movement. Made entirely of titanium. Hand-assembled. And yes – it's lighter than a race car engine cover.
Details for true F1 fanatics
The dial of the TAG Heuer Monaco Split-Seconds F1 sparkles red pointer chronograph, while the skeletonized hour and minute hands appear almost floating. Translucent red ring reveals the interior, and the “asphalt style” counters hold something special for fans: David Croft's famous cry – “LIGHTS OUT & AWAY WE GO!”, printed on the dial. If that doesn't get your heart racing... you might be a valve in the cooling system.
Mechanics for millionaires (with only 10 seats)
The heart of the TAG Heuer Monaco Split-Seconds F1 watch is powered by rattrapante chronograph – one of the most complex mechanical feats in the world of watches. It is capable of measuring two independent times, which is ideal for… say, comparing pit stops or the speed of service at a fancy restaurant.
The entire package is attached to textured white leather strap, which combines sporty functionality and couture aesthetics. The price of this exclusive cube-shaped time machine? 183,000 US dollars.
Limited edition? Only 10 copies. In the world. While some might say this is a watch for millionaires, the truth is this: this is a watch for people who don't want to own a watch, but legends.

Conclusion: When TAG Heuer time Formula 1, time just disappears
TAG Heuer has created more than just a luxurious wrist piece with this watch – it has created an experience. It is a timepiece that measures not just seconds, but moments. A symbol of speed, precision and uncompromising design. If you are one of the lucky ten to own one – then you are not wearing a watch. You are wearing a chapter in motorsport history.
