ADVENT CALENDAR 2016: December 7 – The TAG Heuer Monza ref. CR2080
Deck the halls with badass blackness, fa la la la la, la la, la la. There are slow burn watches – the new Air-King, the Globemaster Annual Cal – and then there are immediate, towering infernos. The new Monza is the latter. It’s the least daggy retro piece of the year, and maybe ever. We … ContinuedThe post ADVENT CALENDAR 2016: December 7 – The TAG Heuer Monza ref.

When Tudor took their technical diver, the mighty Pelagos, and transformed it into the Pelagos LHD, they created a late – and very worthy – entrant into all the ‘Top Watches of 2016’ lists.
