TAG Heuer is celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Monza with a new limited edition Flyback Chronograph. This iteration features a 42mm forged carbon case, a black dial with red accents, and the in-house Calibre TH20-12 automatic movement with flyback functionality. It pays homage to the original 1976 model while incorporating modern materials and design.

The watch features red accents on the minute-counting and chronograph hands, the pulsometer and tachymeter flange scale, and the flyback mark at 6 o'clock.
The forged carbon case is marbled, making each example visually unique and keeping it lightweight.
The dial layout differs from the original, with the small seconds and date functions having more or less switched places compared to the 1976 version.
The 42mm cushion-shaped case is made from forged carbon, offering a distinctive marbled texture and light weight.
The asymmetrical subdial setup places the 30-minute chronograph counter at 3 o'clock, small seconds at 6 o'clock, and an angled date window at 9 o'clock.
The date window is angled and positioned at 9 o'clock, with running seconds at 6 o'clock.
The dial features matte black chronograph counters against a gloss main dial for legibility, with red accents recalling historic color codes.
The movement's blackened openworked rotor is engraved with details filled in red ink, and the column-wheel is also red.
