The Watch

Edouard Heuer founded The Heuer Watch Company in 1860 in St. Imier, Switzerland. Chronographs have been the mainstay for Heuer and later TAG Heuer, featuring many models and configurations, expanding the possibilities to the full. In 1958 Jack Heuer, Edouard’s son, joined the company and in 1962 the first generation of Autavia was launched. Famously worn in the 1970s by Formula One drivers such as Derek Bell, Jacky Ickx, Emerson Fittipaldi, Clay Regazzoni and Mario Andretti, and many more. In 1999 TAG Heuer accepted a bid from LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton S.A.

Here we have a Tag Heuer Sport "2000" Quartz Coke Bezel WM1112 with a 37.5mm satin-finished stainless steel case, the 2000 series was designed by Eddie Schopfer. A subtle curve of the case leads to a lug-to-lug length of 43.5mm and a case thickness of 9.3mm giving the watch an impressive wrist presence, on the right side, is a signed screw-down crown protected by crown guards. A unidirectional satin-brushed bezel has raised blocks and a distinctive red and black 60-minute dive insert, a flat sapphire crystal sits above a matte black dial. An outer minute track is precisely marked with Arabic numeral indices coated in SuperLumiNova marking the hours, at 3 o’clock a framed date window. Elegant Mercedes hands infilled with luminance complemented with a lollipop counterweighted second-hand, at 12 o’clock an applied TAG Heuer motif and at 6 o’clock “professional 200m” complete this sports dive watch. On the reverse a screw-down case back with an engraved TAG Heuer shield in the centre, inside a Quartz movement. The watch comes fitted on its 20mm TAG Heuer stainless steel bracelet with a signed folding clasp and comes with its TAG Heuer presentation box.

Personal Note

The numerals on this TAG Heuer are fantastic and really make the watch for me, that paired with the coke bezel works so well and at 37.5mm it is larer than most of the 2000 Series from TAG Heuer at the time. If you've been wanting to dip your toes in the "Neo-Vintage" TAG Heuer world this would be a fantastic choice to start with,
