The 39mm case of the replica TAG Heuer Monaco Chronograph Night Driver will be familiar to many fans, though the black DLC-coated Grade 5 titanium construction significantly changes how it feels on the wrist. Titanium and black-coated versions of the Monaco have been quite rare until recent years, and it’s still uncommon to find these materials together in one model. Black coatings can sometimes obscure the intricate details of a case design, and while the Monaco Chronograph Night Driver features a sophisticated mix of brushed and matte finishes, it creates a more solid, monolithic appearance on the wrist, with its full design revealing itself upon closer examination. This stealthy look, paired with the lightweight titanium build, gives the watch a much more contemporary vibe than most of its counterparts, although the core right-hand-crown Monaco design remains intact. Like all modern Monacos, replica TAG Heuer equips the Monaco Chronograph Night Driver with a sapphire display caseback and a water resistance rating of 100 meters.
Similarly, the dial of the Super Clone TAG Heuer Monaco Chronograph Night Driver takes the classic Monaco aesthetic in a more contemporary, monochrome direction, offering two distinct visual experiences. In regular lighting, the Monaco Chronograph Night Driver appears subdued and stealthy, featuring a matte battleship gray main dial contrasted by dove gray Super-LumiNova subdials and outer dial. Combined with the dark-coated applied indices and baton hands, the overall look is moody and understated, reminiscent more of a Bamford custom creation than a traditional first-party release.
However, when the lights dim, the replica TAG Heuer Monaco Chronograph Night Driver reveals its wilder side (though we couldn’t capture lume shots during our brief time with this press sample, we’ve included a press image to illustrate the effect). The level of brightness from the outer dial, subdials, hands, and even the main dial’s seconds scale is far greater than what you’d find on most racing chronographs, allowing for precise low-light chronograph readings in short bursts. Although the practical use of this feature is somewhat limited, its visual impact is undeniably striking, offering an exciting new twist on the familiar Monaco design.
The replica TAG Heuer Monaco Chronograph Night Driver houses the in-house Heuer 02 automatic chronograph movement. Over recent years, the Heuer 02 has become a cornerstone of the brand’s high-end chronograph offerings, boasting an impressive 80-hour power reserve and a beat rate of 28,800 bph, keeping it competitive in this price range. Apart from a few bold turquoise accents on the rotor and column wheel, the movement remains mostly unchanged here, featuring Côtes de Genève across the bridges, sharp modern skeletonization, and a multi-spoke racing wheel-inspired rotor in matching black. To complete the ensemble, replica TAG Heuer pairs the Monaco Chronograph Night Driver with a retro-style multi-hole rally strap in black calfskin. This vintage racing-inspired strap helps to ground the watch in its ‘70s-era roots while remaining adaptable enough to complement the modern elements of the design.
