The top quality fake TAG Heuer Monaco PCA Limited Edition automatic chronograph watch was designed in partnership with the Porsche Club of America (aka PCA).
Bearing inside its usual TAG Heuer Calibre 12 automatic chronograph movement, the new limited edition watch sports a decoration scheme that is very close to another Le Mans-inspired limited edition model — the new CAW2113.FC6250 Monaco Gulf chronograph. Which is not such a bad thing, for that matters. The new limited edition time measuring accessory may very well become a piece of great interest for those dreaming about classic sports cars and 24 hours endurance racings.
There is also a “55” racing-style number (the timepiece is limited to only 55 examples, hence the choice of the numeral) just above the small date window at 6 o’clock.
Similarly to the latter, the TAG Heuer Monaco PCA Limited Edition features a red rally stripe running from top to bottom of its square dark-grey dial. The stripe unevenly divides the face of the watch into two parts with its left edge going right through the watch’s center of gravity. Surprisingly, the thick red line doesn’t make the dial look any more unbalanced, since the stripe is successfully counterweighted with the 30-minute chronograph totalizer at 9 o’clock. As you can see, some of its indices and the small minute hand is also red.
The mens replica Tag Heuer Monaco PCA Limited Edition has its transparent display glass engraved with the red PCA logo. The engraving greatly obstructs the view of the Calibre 12 movement. However it is not really a great loss, since the automatic caliber doesn’t feature any particularly interesting piece of decoration or a technical wonder like, say, a tourbillon or at least a power reserve indicator.
The chosen red-white-black color scheme looks way more elegant and classy than the blue-grey-orange combination of the Monaco Gulf version. Making a footnote, I do know that the Monaco Gulf’s color scheme is an almost perfect adaptation of that of the glorious 1969 Porsche 917k Gulf race car immortalized in Lee H. Katzin’s Le Mans drama.
The watch comes packed in a 39 mm square stainless steel case that neatly combines polished and satin-finished parts. The case is big enough to make a statement, but is still quite compact to wear comfortably just about with any kind of dress – from jeans and a polo shirt to a more formal suit.
The Porsche Club of America plans to sell the TAG Heuer Monaco PCA Limited Edition at a sky-high price of fifty-five hundred bucks. Very symbolic. Also, defiantly expensive given the relatively cheap movement that powers Tag heuer Monaco watch replica.
