They offer reliable time in my experience. It was already mentioned earlier that Calibre 11 and Calibre 12 are basically the same ETA/Sellita + DD. I'm not really sure how to answer your query since I'm not sure if we are talking purely about different movements or different models with the same movement? For example, the Calibre Heuer 02 has been housed from 39mm (Glassbox Carreras / Monaco), 42mm (Carrera Elegant, Autavia Chrono), 43mm (skeleton Carrera), 44mm (Carrera Sports, Fragment F1) and 45mm (skeleton Carrera & tourbillon Carrera) and there have been noted differences in the same movement with different models. But IMHO, it's more about perception than the movement itself. Many feel the C11 Monaco's lofty price tag merits a better movement than something based on ETA/Sellita this is probably the biggest negative. If you want the vintage look of the original Calibre 11 Monaco of 1969, the current C11 movement is your only option. The C12 has basically been replaced by the H02 Monaco. The main difference is the C11 movement is modified to accommodate the left side crown. The C11 & C12 are basically the same, based on ETA and later Sellita with a with a Dubois-Depraz chronograph module. If you're into having "In-House", this is the one. The Heuer 02 is TAG Heuer's in-house premium movement with 80 hours of power reserve, it's regarded as better than the Calibre 11 or 12. ![]() ![]() But if you want to buy a Monaco based on its movement, this might be one for you. The downside for me is that these watches are large and not the traditional looking Monaco. The Monaco 24's Calibre 36 movement is based on the Zenith El Primero, which is very highly regarded. Most buy a Monaco because of its looks and heritage.
