Monaco 1979 - 1989 ....
This is a limited edition piece taking us back to the golden era of turbo charged and special edition production cars.
I think this watch captures the feel for that era. The '80s produced some great cars, in a time before regulations and pedestrian safety influenced car design.

In homage to the original, the crown and pusher placement is consistent with Monacos and Caliber 11 watches throughout production. The crown on the left and pushers on the right. Just 169 pieces will be made.
It certainly reminds me of the fabulous designs of this era of the Group B Rally Car, optimism and financial excess !
Red was the defining colour before white took over as the “in” colour. Enjoy !

I owned two of them....
As far as handing goes, that was when Toyota owned a piece of Lotus who assisted in development. Here's the second one.... Supercharged! ('89) ...
That’s interesting...
I always think that you need to actually try a watch on your wrist to make the decision to buy.
NIce version.
Together with the green one I think they are both nice options for Monaco lovers. Thanks. Vte
Here's the one I have
Meant to add this yesterday but got sidetracked. 2010 ltd ed. A rare moment where I didn't choose blue! ...
