On the 7th of September 1975 at the Italian Grand Prix the Ferrari driver Clay Regazzoni crossed the finish line first after 52 laps. Niki Lauda came third and wrote motor racing history as the new Formula One champion for Ferrari. Heuer was so pleased with this result that they created a new model line in honour of the event. In the Heuer catalogue the Monza was described as a special limited edition watch, delivered in a miniature red racing helmet to celebrate Niki Lauda's 1975 Formula 1 title.
The case design of the Monza was inspired by the Carrera automatic chronograph and was available either in chrome or black anodized cases. The Monza was meant to attract a younger target group with its stylish look and big holes in the racing strap.
The current example is in New Old Stock condition.
