In the 2009 BaselWorld, TAG Heuer introduced a concept watch called the Monaco 24.
Named in honor of the 24 Hours of Le Mans race and bearing the distinctive striping of the Gulf Oil color livery, the watch takes its design cues from the Le Mans Prototypes that participate in the annual classic.

The Calibre 36 movement is cased within a steel-tube housing that can be seen through the dial face.
The watch is constructed in industrial-grade tungsten.

According to an announcement by Jean-Christophe Babin, president of TAG Heuer, the watch is also named after the fact that it can withstand an impact of 24,000G, which is an equivalent to a 20 meter fall.
