There's more to a watch than how it feels and looks on the wrist. Some watches carry a weight greater than what you can measure in grams they also bear the weight of decades of heritage and sociocultural significance. The Monaco a true icon of the industry is one such watch. It's even more true when that Monaco has a Gulf dial. Those stripes, on that dial, add up to a double hit of Steve McQueen iconography. The watch he wore in Le Mans, emblazoned with the colours of the car he drove, all in one convenient 39mm package. And while this piece of history gives you a good idea as to who this watch is pitched at, it doesn't quite capture just how much fun it is on the wrist. The Monaco is fun in and of itself, but the popping strap and striped dial take it to the next level, as you can see.TAG Heuer Monaco Gulf 2018 Special Edition Australian pricing and availabilityTAG Heuer Monaco Gulf 2018 Special Edition, steel on calf, $7650
