The Gulf Monaco is an undeniably fun watch, no matter how difficult a form factor it might be for most wrists (including my own). We can’t all be Steve McQueen. Speaking of the King of Cool, most watch lovers are only aware the Monaco exists because McQueen popularized it after wearing one in the movie Le Mans in 1971. Interestingly, that film represented a crossover between McQueen’s movie stardom, and Jo Siffert’s racing prowess (he coached McQueen’s driving in the film).
