For the Monza story I am just consolidating the research I have done during the last 6 month.

Jeff would your expert have some detailed infos on Monzas ?

Jassi do you recall the year of the catalog where we found the Modena ?

Mark you have shown a catalog with the Cal 12 Monza in the older thread, I think it is the only Cal 12 Monza ever shown ?! Can you confirm the year ?

The Monza was added to the portfolio 1976 MY,
Heuers first limited edition watch,
the only 70is watch in the portfolio with a chrom case,
first cal 15 only, then extended to cal 12 with Monza on the dial,
It was the last Cal.15 watch in production, there are many more interesting facts to come...

Cheers

: I will need to go through some notes, and perhaps make some
: further inquiries, but I thought that the Modena was the very
: first version of the Monza, and that Heuer changed the name from
: Modena to Monza (a) becuase the "Modena" was not
: well-known outside of Italy (and Europe), and (b) to celebrate
: the Lauda / Ferrari championship. So this suggests that the
: Modenas would have come before the Monzas (and should be in the
: earlier catalogs).

: This is a great topic that we should hope to "nail down",
: definitively, but I just wanted to quickly add this point.

: For the record, I supplied the Modena to the TAG-Heuer archives /
: museum, having found it is the Midwest area of the U.S. Search
: the old forum messages, and you will see that we laughed about
: this one . . . thinking that the dial refinisher had made the
: mistake of writing "Modena" instead of
: "Monza"!!
