Drawing inspiration from the timeless Monaco watches of the early 1970s, the TAG Heuer Monaco, is the original square-shaped icon, representing the pursuit of doing things in a unique and unconventional way. The TAG Heuer Monaco embraces the spirit of breaking boundaries and chasing dreams making it a great match for Gran Turismo: Based on a True Story, a film based on the unbelievable true story of a team of unlikely underdogs – a struggling working-class gamer (Archie Madekwe), a failed former racecar driver (David Harbour), and an idealistic motorsport executive (Orlando Bloom). Together, they risk it all to take on the most elite sport in the world.

Gran Turismo: Based on a True Story is an inspiring, thrilling, and action-packed story that proves that nothing is impossible when you’re fueled from within. The watch can be seen worn by film character “Danny Moore,” a motorsport executive.


Infused with captivating charisma, the TAG Heuer Monaco embodies individuality in every aspect. This powerful design is now offered on a distinctive steel bracelet: a rallying symbol for the audaciously rebellious.

Beneath its striking façade, the watch is powered by the caliber Heuer 02, a true statement to the brand’s legitimacy in the watch industry.

TAG Heuer embraces the shared passion for motor racing and the unique universe it creates. As the Gran Turismo: Based on a True Story movie unfolds, TAG Heuer’s presence becomes evident, reinforcing the connection of the Monaco watch with the world of motor racing.
