路It looks very much like a Calibre 12 version of CAW211B, which is no bad thing.
I'd rather have the CAW211B Cal11 Vintage Grey LE, but I guess it's nice for Cal12 lovers or those who missed out on buying the Cal11 version when it was new.
Still wondering why TH is using what should be a C11 model nomenclature scheme on a C12 Monaco. 馃

From these two pics, the new version seems to have a darker deeper shade of blue compared to the dial of the CAW2111. Only draw back for me is the increased size to 40mm and I'm also assuming an increase in price.

路Looks really nice, sub-dials are simple and clean. There are a few more pics from that IG poster.

路I鈥檓 still not sure I can get on board with the seconds sub dial floating at the bottom in crosshairs over the date window.

That's the best bit about this design. The running seconds subdial is largely pointless so the fact that it blends into the dial means the design looks like a classic two register chronograph.

路Rather looks like it was added as an afterthought.
Except that the Heuer 02 is a 3 register movement. It is really about how much attention/focus the running seconds subdial is given. In this case, the bare minimum.
The alternative is that they could have just not attached a hand to the running seconds gear train and then it would not have shown up on the dial at all.

路I understand the logic of it being there but if you鈥檙e going to put it on the face at least make it legible, or, as suggested just don鈥檛 couple the mechanism in and leave the face clean looking.

They removed the running seconds for the Viceroy reedition.... they could have easily done the same here, and really should have. This thing sucks.

路It's there to indicate that the watch is running, my guess. Not everybody is ok with just the sound of the movement, e.g. think of all the +70 fans 馃槈!
