 he Monaco Ref 1133 was Heuer’s first ever automatic chronograph\, and in
  fact\, one of the first automatic chronographs from any brand at all. As 
 worn by Steve McQueen in the movie Le Mans\, it’s a watch steeped in wat
 ch and film history and is one of the most distinctive watches designs eve
 r made. The Monaco has had a number of iterations including a three-regist
 er manual-winding model (circa 1971)\, a simpler model with only one chron
 ograph recorder (circa 1972)\, and finally the two-register\, manual-windi
 ng model (circa 1974)\, but one version stands apart to any other – The 
 Dark Lord.\n\nThe Dark Lord is as mysterious as it is rare. Never shown in
  a catalog\, Heuer themselves do not hold much information on its developm
 ent\, production or distribution\, but Jack Heuer as previously said that 
 it is likely between 100 and 200 that were produced and were predominantly
  supplied via the German distributors\, but never in the USA.\n\nThe cases
  for these watches are from the Ref 740303 that were given a black coating
 \, but the dial was new to the model. The dial and registers are matt blac
 k with the long markers painted in luminous material\, and the chronograph
  hours\, minutes and seconds hands given a distinctive orange finish. The 
 movement is a Valjoux 7740 which meant the crown is located between the ch
 ronograph pushers on the right side of the case\, unlike the earlier autom
 atic Monaco’s.
