Monaco 30

ref. 1533 G 

Vintage 1972 Chronograph

Cal.15 Automatic

Genuine 1970s CORFAM racing strap

Beautiful 1972-73 Heuer Monaco - legendary Steve McQueens chronograph from 'LeMans' movie with improved version of the world's first automatic chronograph movement designed jointly by Heuer, Breitling, Buren and Dubois in 1969, cased in square shaped, waterproof stel case.

Very nice sun burst Silver dial with a grey chrono subdial and small seconds register at '10'

The icon of 1970s design.

It has clearly visible serial number stamped between the lugs.

The watch is generally in very good original shape, both dial, and case (see pics), and the movement has been fully serviced in March 2017: cleaned and oiled to ensure good time keeping. Chrono function works as should: starts, stops and resets to zero.
