And on the wrists of every one of these driving legends, another legend:

A TAG Heuer watch

A super-charged and super-tough reinterpretation of the square-faced Monaco first seen on Steve McQueen’s wrist.

The blue dial is a combination of the traditional McQueen template with racing suit white stripes.

The award-winning construction, tubular design and extreme shock-protected components are directly inspired by F1 racecar technology.

The manifold arms, visible through the crystal caseback, collect vibrations and direct them away from the movement and into the composite filter, which absorbs and dissipates their energy.

This is a chronograph is for ultimate precision, with unmatchable Steve McQueen-vintage flair.

The best is to see the interior of this mythical time machine.
