As on the original, the pushbuttons are placed on the right of the dial, while the crown is on the left - an unconventional arrangement that has distinguished the Monaco for half a century.
The base of this 1990s inspired wristwatch features the original "Monaco Heuer" logo, as well as the "1989-1999 Special Edition" and "One of 169" endorsements. Adopting a design inspired by the original model, the stainless steel bottom features vertical and circular brushed patterns, as well as a polished vertical and circular brushed finish.
