Designed by Jorg Hysek, the 6000 series was the top of the range TAG Heuer of the day. Model reference WH1211-K1
HOW DO WE DATE THIS WATCH?
This model was available from the launch in 1992 right through to the end of the 6000 series, but there is a production date stamped on the movement for 1995. We have also found the 1995 catalogue showing the model with the bracelet fitted.
CONDITION
The 6000 series certainly provides choice. You can have a range of case sizes and materials, different movements, dial colours, bracelets or straps. You could even try and find the limited editions for either the McLaren F1 supercar (like this one available for £25m!), or one of the 99 6000 series made with a platinum case. This model is the men’s midsize with quartz movement. For some reason during the 1990’s TAG Heuer included the crown in their case sizings, so their mid size was officially 38mm – this is a bit misleading and at the narrowest the case is 35mm. The very early 6000’s had an issue with the the way the bracelet fixed to the case via screws, and this watch has the later conventional springbars so that issue is averted (but you can still see the screw holes from the back of the case). We will install a brand new battery before sending the watch out to the new owner. The leather strap is new, and could be swapped for a different colour if preferred. An original TAG Heuer buckle is fitted. Everything is working as it should, including the rotating bezel and screw down signed crown.
This watch will be supplied with an original TAG Heuer service box, and our Certificate of Authenticity.

From 1st September 2021 we will be planting a tree for every watch we sell, working with the International Tree Foundation (Est 1922) to make this business positive on carbon. By buying anything pre owned you are effectively reusing what already exists, but this takes it further and makes us feel good.
