Even by [[Heuer]] there was launched such a model in [[1930]] a [[monopusher chronograph]] with [[manual winding]] movement, which already at that time bore the name "Monza" - according to the well-known Italian racetrack. ==== In the style of the 1970s ==== In [[1975]] [[Heuer]] launched the wrist [[chronograph]] "Monza", equipped with the well-known [[self-winding]] movement [[Heuer 11]] (later version [[Heuer 15]]). Especially characteristic was the model completely held in black, with red hands and scales. The watch was dedicated to the racer Niki Lauda in memory of his 3rd place at the Italian Grand Prix at Monza on September 7, 1975. This day brought the team Ferrari a new status as Formula 1 champion. The first model was produced only until [[1978]]. ==== Re-editions with the original case shape ==== The distinctive name was resumed in [[2001]] for a chronograph series in pillow shape, this time driven by the Calibre 36 (basis [[Zenith El Primero]]).
