Heuer
Monaco
Why It Matters
The square-cased automatic chronograph that broke convention when Heuer launched it in 1969: a water-resistant case with the crown on the left, a metallic blue dial, and one of the first automatic chronograph movements. Worn by Steve McQueen in the 1971 film Le Mans, the Monaco 1133B became the defining motorsport watch of its era.
