TAG Heuer Monza Flyback Chronometer Watch CR5090.FN6001

The TAG Heuer Monza Flyback Chronometer 42mm (Ref. CR5090.FN6001) celebrates TAG Heuer’s Formula 1 heritage through advanced carbon construction and flyback chronograph functionality that serves professional racing applications. Named after the world’s fastest F1 circuit, this honours the original 1976 Monza created to celebrate Niki Lauda’s championship with Ferrari when Heuer served as the team’s official timekeeper.

At 42mm with ultra-lightweight carbon construction, this provides substantial presence whilst remaining approximately 30% lighter than steel alternatives. The carbon composite offers superior shock resistance and complete corrosion immunity essential for motorsport environments, whilst the unique marbled pattern ensures each case has individual character.

The Manufacture Calibre TH20-12 delivers COSC chronometer certification with 80-hour power reserve and sophisticated flyback functionality. The flyback complication allows instant chronograph reset without stopping, eliminating the three-step process of conventional chronographs and saving crucial seconds during professional timing operations. The red column wheel visible through the sapphire caseback emphasises the racing-inspired technical excellence.

The skeletonised black dial with translucent blue sapphire crystal sub-counters creates three-dimensional visual depth whilst revealing the movement architecture. The red and blue accents reference traditional racing colours whilst maintaining optimal legibility for rapid timing operations.

This Monza Flyback suits buyers who want authentic motorsport heritage with genuine racing functionality. The flyback chronograph serves professional timing applications where split-second decisions matter, whilst the carbon construction delivers the lightweight performance demanded by racing professionals. It bridges TAG Heuer’s historic Formula 1 connections with contemporary materials technology and in-house manufacturing excellence.
