Yes we were sitting in your office, going through all your catalogs and bam there was the Modena modelname in a german catalog, I think it was 1980.

I have done some extensive research on Monza-Modena which will be published in autum.

This is only the third Modena I have seen so far, one is in the TAG Heuer archives.

The Monza disappeard from the catalogs in 1978 as it was meant to be limited edition to celebrate the F1 worldchampion victory of Niki and Ferrari.

Modena uses the same Monza backcase and reference which leads to the fact that these have not been produced paralelly.

The later 1981 eco chronograph was not called Monza anymore and was in the portfolio until 1985.

Does somebody own a nos eco chronograph of this last mid 80is period, I believe we find no more Monza signature on the backcase ?

Also did the chrome case die with the end of the Monza production and was replaced by a standard carrera tooled steel case.

Further it is interesting how few original Monzas in the leaflet advertised Helmet case have survived, I have only came across two pieces during the last ten years...

Jeff do you know if these Modenas have ever reached the uS ? Any info available from your master source ?

Many qs, any answers out there ?

Cheers
