    TAG Heuer Monaco Iconic wearer 1970

    Film role: as driver Michael Delaney in Le Mans, filmed in 1970 and released in 1971, McQueen wore the blue Heuer Monaco ref. 1133B. He chose it on set to match the Heuer patch he copied from Jo Siffert's suit, after passing on an Omega. Heuer sent six 1133B for the production, and the images of McQueen wearing it turned a model that was not initially well received into an icon. After filming he gave one to his mechanic Haig Altounian, thanking him for keeping him alive.
