The best TAG Heuer watches
TAG Heuer is built on racing chronographs: the Carrera, named for a Mexican road race, and the square Monaco that Steve McQueen wore in Le Mans. The Aquaracer diver and Formula 1 cover the rest.
Its newer movements, like the TH20 and TH31, run 80 hours and are a step up from the older Calibre 5 and 16.
