--- Introduction --- Introduced in the early 1980s, the Heuer 2000 series became one of the defining sports watches of its era, combining genuine 200-metre water resistance with a bold, instantly recognisable design. This ladies' example dates from the pre-TAG "Heuer" period and presents the much sought-after black-coated execution, set off by a gold-tone bezel with its signature screw heads and silver-tone guards. The crisp white dial with gold-tone indices, applied Arabic numerals and a date window at 3 o'clock offers excellent legibility and a refined contrast against the matte black case. A characterful and increasingly collectable piece from Heuer's golden diving-watch years. --- Specifications --- Brand: Heuer (TAG Heuer) Series: 2000 Reference: 956.008 Movement: Quartz, with date display Case Material: Black-coated stainless steel with gold-tone bezel Crystal: Mineral glass (estimated) Dial: White, gold-tone baton indices and Arabic numerals, date at 3 o'clock Case Back: Stainless steel, screw-down, engraved "Heuer Swiss Since 1860" and "Waterresistant 200 Meters Tested" Bracelet: Original Heuer black-coated stainless steel bracelet with signed fold-over clasp Period: 1980s Country of Origin: Switzerland --- Condition Report --- Overall: A well-preserved vintage example showing light signs of use, with the honest character expected of a black-coated sports watch of this age.
