--- Introduction --- Introduced at the end of the 1980s, the TAG Heuer 2000 Series Professional became the model that carried the brand's motorsport heritage into the world of the serious dive watch. This compact reference 973.008F presents the classic formula in its most wearable proportions: a softly faceted stainless steel case, a bidirectional notched bezel with a black insert, and a deep black dial framed by luminous triangular indices. The signature five-link bracelet, with its rounded centre links, gives the piece the unmistakable silhouette that made the 2000 Series a design landmark of the period. Quartz-powered and rated to 200 metres, it is a genuine tool watch executed on an elegant scale. --- Specifications --- Brand: TAG Heuer Series: 2000 Series Professional 200 m Reference: 973.008F Movement: Quartz Case Material: Stainless steel Crystal: Sapphire (presumed, in keeping with the series) Dial: Black, with luminous triangular indices, date aperture at 3 o'clock and "professional 200 METERS" text Case Back: Screw-down stainless steel, engraved "WATER RESISTANT 200 METERS TESTED", "973.008F", "SWISS", "SINCE 1860" and the TAG Heuer shield Bracelet: Original TAG Heuer stainless steel five-link bracelet with folding clasp Period: 1990s Country of Origin: Switzerland --- Condition Report --- Overall: A pre-owned timepiece in good overall condition, showing honest and even signs of wear consistent with its age while retaining its original proportions and finish.
