made waves not only for being Corum 396-152-47-F166-FW30R Watch McQueen's watch of choice in Le Mans

The 1969 Monaco made waves not only for being Corum 396-152-47-F166-FW30R Watch McQueen's watch of choice in Le Mans, but also for housing the first automatic chronograph movement (although some people believe the Zenith El Primero to be the original).The Heuer Monaco we have found for you today does LOOK just like the McQueen Monaco in that is has the now legendary blue face with white registers, but this watch is actually a manual movement, not an automatic.That's ok though, there is something to be said about a great looking sports watch that features a manual movement.Also, not having the automatic movement allows this watch to be offered at a more reasonable price.

This watch is being sold for a shade under $5500, which is Corum 396-152-47-0F02-EB30R Men's watch perfectly fair considering how desired the McQueen Monaco is.Click here to see the details of this 1974 McQueen Heuer Monaco, a legendary sports watch in its purest form.Hodinkee in Chronograph, Heuer, Heuer Chronograh, Steve McQueen Monaco, Vintage Sunday, January 11, 2009 at 10:31AM This Friday at London's SalonQP, you will have a rare opportunity to meet the author of one this year's biggest and best horological books: Twelve Faces of Time by Elizabeth Doerr.

In addition to the rubber strap with portholes, there will also be a metal bracelet and leather or crocodile strap available to match the watch. This is up there with the true professional instruments that Breitling offers, but good enough for everyday use for any guy who likes the look of the watch. You can see that the rear of the replica Gucci YA055211 Ladie's watch has one of those famous turbine engravings that Breitling watches are known for. Pretty awesome if you ask me. I would guess price is about $3,000 $4,000 soon.See Breitling Airwolf Raven, Aerospace, and similar watches on eBay here.
