In a sea of round watches, the lines of a square shaped case released in 1969 really stood out. The case was in fact designed and made by famous case maker Piquerez. The size is also quite large at 39mm\u2014<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/vintage-rolex-1.html\">particularly for a vintage timepiece<\/a>\u2014and sits quite high on the wrist due to its movement within. This watch certainly has presence. Look closely and you\u2019ll see the vertical grain of the stainless steel, which adds great texture to the look of the watch. Finally, the case includes the two chronograph pushers on the right-hand side, while the winding crown sits rather unusually on the left-hand side. The 100m water resistance of the square Monaco case was also hailed as a triumph during its era.<\/p>\n<p>The dial of the Heuer Monaco 1133 is another thing of beauty. While McQueen\u2019s version, 1133B, had a blue dial, this particular version is a 1133G with a gray dial. On that gray dial\u2014again displaying subtle vertical graining\u2014lies the now familiar layout of the Monaco. The circular minute track contrasts beautifully with its square steel house, while the pair of rounded square registers mimics the case shape. There also the date window at 6 o\u2019clock for added practicality and the red details on the dial emphasize the sporty nature of the Monaco. There has also been a handful of instances where <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/celebrity-rolex\/important-figures-watch-history-steve-mcqueen.html\">McQueen was spotted wearing a Rolex<\/a> but let&#8217;s not get off topic.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_19925\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-19925\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-19925 size-full\" title=\"A Heuer Monaco 1133 is slowly gaining traction as a highly collectible vintage watch.\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Heuer_Monaco_5D3_1383-2.jpg\" alt=\"Heuer Monaco 1133\" width=\"1200\" height=\"674\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Heuer_Monaco_5D3_1383-2.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Heuer_Monaco_5D3_1383-2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Heuer_Monaco_5D3_1383-2-768x431.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Heuer_Monaco_5D3_1383-2-1024x575.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Heuer_Monaco_5D3_1383-2-585x329.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-19925\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">You can see the granular details on the vintage Heuer Monaco 1133.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Another important element of this particular vintage Heuer Monaco 1133G is its steel link bracelet.

Although the announcement claimed that this was the world\u2019s first automatic chronograph movement, there is some dispute to this story since Zenith introduced the El Primero movement earlier that year in January and Seiko also had 6139 automatic chronograph movement produced for the Japanese market in \u201969.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless, of who was first in the industry, the Heuer Caliber 11 was the company\u2019s first and arguably most famous automatic chronograph movement.
