Circa 1990 TAG Heuer 1000 Professional, Ref. 980.013B
A classic example of TAG Heuer’s 1000 Professional series, this vintage 37mm quartz diver combines a distinctive black dial, rotating dive bezel and stainless steel construction with the practical design that made the collection popular.
The watch features its original black dial with luminous hour markers, Mercedes style hands and a date display at 3 o’clock. The original aged lume has developed a warm tone that adds character to the watch, contrasting against the black dial and bezel.
The stainless-steel caseback is engraved with the TAG Heuer shield and original 200 metre water resistance specification. The watch is fitted with the original matching stainless steel bracelet at over 20cm overall length.

Originality & Condition
At TEMPO PRIMA, we believe vintage watches are best appreciated for their original character rather than refinished to look new.
This TAG Heuer retains the distinctive design of the 1000 Professional series, with natural signs of age and use that reflect its history. The case, bezel and bracelet show wear consistent with a vintage sports watch.
A Note on Vintage Watch Ownership
Vintage watches should be treated differently from modern timepieces. Although this model was originally rated to 200 metres, we do not pressure test vintage watches and cannot guarantee water resistance. We recommend keeping vintage watches dry and avoiding exposure to water or moisture, regardless of their original specifications.
