TUDOR "Monte Carlo", ref. 7159, from 1974

The TUDOR “Monte Carlo” ref. 7159 from 1974 is an unmistakable vintage chronograph, named for its sub-dials’ resemblance to the roulette tables in Monaco. Featuring a 40 mm stainless steel case with screw-down pushers and back, it offers durability and a sporty elegance. The grey dial, enhanced by striking black and orange indexes, is both vibrant and functional, with a date aperture at 6 o’clock. Powered by the Valjoux 234 manual winding movement, it embodies reliability and precision. As noted, while the 1970s Rolex Daytonas are celebrated for their simplicity, the “Monte Carlo” showcases TUDOR’s creative freedom, offering a bold and colorful alternative. In very good original condition, this watch captures the era’s adventurous spirit and TUDOR’s unique design philosophy.
