Not insta story, regular posts. Headlights and cockpit of Porsche.

Oh not across that. Will have a look.
Thanks Mate

It could have been definitely.
Another Porsche Colab is still a little while off.
This is just another Limited Edition.
I have not seen the caseback yet, maybe they decided late in the process to engrave Porsche on the back and make it a Porsche watch even though it was planned to just be a racing green Monaco?

Then what’s with all the Porsche references in the teaser?

Prob just some extra effect they can use now that they've signed that agreement

Wow another Monaco LE of 500 😲 Seems like it was just yesterday with the 50th 😲 (169 x 5 = 845)

Honestly I'm not paying much attention to the H02 Monacos until the crown is properly moved to the left. More importantly than tradition, I think it just balances the case out better.

Interesting too that the "radial" dials are placed on the H02s while the C11s continue on with the original square / rectangular markers. Which is a much better look for the square case too, IMO

I couldn't see anything "Porsche" on the caseback from the instagram video post (not story). There might be something there, but what's the point of having a Porsche x Monaco with only having a "Porsche" reference on the back?

You might be right. But very odd to tease with Porsche images if not a Porsche Collab. 😕

The car headlights do look "Porsche-y" to me tho... Not sure about the rev counter as I've never owned a Porsche...

The images looked more to me like "race car" imagery than specifically Porsche, it's just that since they're partnered with Porsche on a number of levels, why not use their cars for this imagery. Either way though, this Monaco is not a Porsche collab.

The headlights, tachometer and side view mirrors are most definitely an old school air cooled Porsche 911.

It’s green. Don’t know if it’s intentional or a slip-up but in the TAG Heuer IG stories you can just spot a green dial before it turns black.

Could the reference be (McQueen's character) Delaney's green Porsche in Le Mans?

May be they'll call it the McQueen movie car LE, without even referencing Porsche on the watch. That could be a tricky way to save on licensing fees. 🙄

Or y'know that little-known other green car McQueen drove in that one film.

Pretty obscure though 📖

Ha, I like that link. Overthinking it for sure... although the car in the IG clip is certainly an F or G model, so could be.

But he wore a Benrus in that one. 😗

How about McQueen’s Highland Green Bullitt Mustang? 😲

This is what @abrod520 was hinting at.

Yes sir 👍 The green Bullitt Mustang is the “star of a classic hollywood movie” and I don’t recall McQueen’s green 911S in Le Mans a “star” since obviously we have the Porsche 917K Gulf & Ferrari 512S as the main stars in the movie.

Putting the green 911S from Le Mans as the “star” of the movie is a bit of a stretched from TAG Heuer’s marketing and a bit trying “just to make a connection” 😵‍💫 IMHO
