The Tudor Monte Carlo chronograph is an icon from the 1970s and remains one of the most sought-after models from the brand. It gained tremendous popularity among collectors due to their diverse and vibrant "exotic" dials. These watches featured colorful designs that captivated enthusiasts. In fact, the striking grey dial, blue registers, and blue rotating bezel of this particular Monte Carlo model served as the inspiration for the Tudor Heritage Chrono Blue, a re-edition introduced in 2010 that had significant popularity.

As the demand for vintage sport chronographs from the 1960s and 1970s continues to rise, the Tudor Monte Carlo models have become highly coveted by collectors. Their unique aesthetic and historical significance make them increasingly sought after in the market.
