TAG Heuer Monaco Evergraph DLC / Black Ref. CEW5180.FT8122

The TAG Heuer Monaco Evergraph CEW5180.FT8122 debuted in 2026 as a black DLC-coated grade 5 titanium execution of the Monaco Evergraph, combining the collection’s 40mm square case with a darker dial treatment and red accents. It shares the same case architecture and Calibre TH80-00 as the titanium version, while shifting the external finish, dial colour, and strap details. Its case measures 40mm in diameter, 14.51mm in thickness, and 22.59mm between the lugs. The construction is executed in grade 5 titanium with a black DLC coating and alternating fine-brushed, polished, and sand-blasted surfaces. The fixed bezel, crown, and sapphire caseback frame are likewise black DLC-coated titanium. The watch is fitted with a beveled, domed sapphire crystal and is water-resistant to 100 metres. The dial is transparent and built around the inverted architecture of the movement, with the barrel, gear train, balance, and escapement visible from the dial side. Black opaline counters at 3 and 9 o’clock display the 30-minute chronograph register and running seconds respectively. The bridges are black DLC-coated, fine-brushed, and sandblasted. Applied indexes are filled with white Super-LumiNova, while the open-worked hour and minute hands are black gold-coated, filled with white Super-LumiNova, and tipped in red lacquer. The central chronograph hand is red lacquered. Inside is the TAG Heuer Calibre TH80-00, an automatic chronograph movement with 47 jewels, operating at 36,000 vibrations per hour, or 5Hz, with a power reserve of 70 hours. It is COSC-certified and equipped with the TH-Carbonspring oscillator. Its chronograph mechanism is built around two flexible bistable components, one governing start and stop and the other reset, produced using LIGA technology. This reference is fitted on a black rubber strap with a textile embossing and red stitching, secured by a black DLC-coated titanium folding clasp with push-buttons.
