Swiss watch maker Tag Heuer markets certain automatic chronograph models as “Steve McQueen Monaco Editions” in tribute to him wearing a similar watch in the film Le Mans.

In 2005, the watch maker’s marketing campaign also reissued a special edition Monaco chronograph to celebrate what would have been Steve McQueen’s 75th birthday.

The legendary McQueen was an avid motorcycle and racecar enthusiast. When he had the opportunity to drive in a movie, he often did so himself, performing many of his own stunts.

The most memorable were the classic chase in “Bullitt” and the motorcycle chase scene in “The Great Escape”. During his acting career, he even considered becoming a professional race car driver.
