The bi metal TAG Heuer 2000 Chronograph has a 12 hour timer and quick set date.  Model reference 264.006/1

HOW DO WE DATE THIS WATCH?

These models features in the TAG Heuer catalogues between 1985 and 1991.  The last years had a colour TAG Heuer logo on the dial, so we have chosen the mid year between 1985 and 1989.

CONDITION

If you wanted a sporty watch in the 1980’s and had a reasonable budget you probably wanted a TAG Heuer.  And if you liked F1 you probably wanted a TAG Heuer Chronograph, such was the brands long association with motorsport.  But oddly they didn’t make many models – the Formula 1 range didn’t have chronographs in their range yet, and the 1000 Series never had a chronograph option.  But in the 200o series you could pick between quartz or automatic chronographs, and we have the 20 jewel quartz here.  Everything is working correctly and the hands sprung back instantly unlike some later quartz chronograph watches that power forwards much slower.  We will install a brand new battery before sending the watch out to the new owner.  The dial and hands are good, with clear lume plots.  The unidirectional bezel clicks nicely but does have some wear on the high points of the gold plating.  The crown is signed and screws down correctly.  The watch would originally been on a bracelet, but gold plated TAG Heuer bracelets of this time don’t last well – the gold plating is very susceptible to wear.  Instead this has been fitted with a new satchel brown leather strap, which could be swapped for a different colour if preferred.

This watch will be supplied with our branded presentation box and our Certificate of Authenticity.
