Presented for auction by Second Vintage This classic TAG Heuer perfectly captures the quintessential sports watch aesthetic of the 1990s, blending robust utilitarian design with two-tone appeal. Known for its distinctive bezel and reliable build, this diver-style timepiece has aged with remarkable character, making it a compelling choice for collectors who appreciate honest vintage wear and unique dial patina. Brand: TAG Heuer Model: 2000 Series Professional Reference Number: 964.006F-2 Serial Number: R13840 Movement: Swiss Quartz Dial: Matte champagne dial exhibiting a distinct and even stardust patina, with applied luminous indices Case Size: 40 mm (excluding the crown) Case Material: Stainless steel and gold-plated Production Year: 1994 Condition: Good vintage condition with honest wear to the gold plating and an attractively aged dial Dial and Hands The matte champagne dial has developed a striking and highly uniform 'stardust' patina across its surface, giving the watch a deeply individualized vintage character. The signature green and red TAG Heuer shield remains crisp and vibrant, contrasting beautifully against the aged background, while the black printed "professional 200 METERS" typography is fully intact. The applied hour markers feature lume that has settled into a warm, creamy tone, flanked by the classic "T SWISS MADE T" designation at the bottom. The black-framed Mercedes-style hands are well-preserved, housing luminous material that matches the indices perfectly. A stepped date window at the three o'clock position completes the highly legible and balanced layout. Case and Crystal The 40mm stainless steel case retains its utilitarian brushed finish and strong lug profile. The unidirectional rotating bezel, characterized by its prominent rider tabs and engraved numerals, shows visible fading and wear to the gold plating, consistent with its age and history of use as a sports watch. The gold-tone crown, signed with the TAG Heuer shield, sits securely within the integrated crown guards and displays similar honest wear. The watch is fitted with a flat sapphire crystal with a subtle beveled edge, as proudly denoted on the caseback, which remains clear and protects the dial perfectly. The screw-down stainless steel caseback is in excellent shape, featuring crisp, deep engravings of the brand logo, reference number 964.006F-2, and serial number R13840. Movement The watch is powered by a reliable Swiss quartz movement, housed securely behind the screw-down caseback, ensuring the practical and accurate timekeeping that made the 2000 Series a staple of its era. Strap The watch is fitted with its original two-tone stainless steel and gold-plated bracelet, clearly identified by the 304/31 endlink codes. The bracelet exhibits moderate stretch and visible fading to the gold-plated center links, aligning perfectly with the overall vintage condition of the case and bezel. It is secured by the original fold-over stainless steel clasp, which features a deeply stamped TAG Heuer shield logo. The bracelet is sized to accommodate a 17.5cm wrist. Condition This timepiece is presented in good vintage condition. It displays clear, honest signs of wear, most notably the fading of the gold plating on the bezel and bracelet center links, which adds to its authentic tool-watch appeal. The case remains structurally sharp, and the dial's stardust patina is visually striking and free of moisture damage or aggressive degradation. Dimensions The case measures a contemporary 40 mm in diameter, excluding the crown guards and signed crown. The attached original bracelet is sized to fit a 17.5 cm wrist. Remarks With its unmistakable 1990s styling and beautifully aged dial, this TAG Heuer 2000 Series offers a fantastic entry into vintage sports watches. The stardust patina elevates it from a standard diver to a piece with genuine individual character.
