Origin & Provenance
Swiss Made. Movement sourced from ETA (part of Swatch Group) but assembled by TAG Heuer in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland.
Age Estimate
Circa 1998–2004. The dial logo and bezel design are hallmark traits of the late 2000 Series before it was rebranded as the Aquaracer.
Cultural Significance
A symbol of the 'Quartz' luxury era of the 1990s. It represents the accessibility of Swiss luxury during a period when TAG Heuer dominated the entry-level luxury market.
Condition Notes
Very Good. The lume remains highly reactive. The brushed steel shows typical light surface scuffs consistent with age, but no major dents or crystal scratches are visible.
Value Estimate
$400 - $750 USD. Price varies based on whether it includes the original box and papers and the tightness of the bracelet links.
Care & Maintenance
Battery replacement typically every 3–4 years. It is recommended to have the gaskets checked and pressure tested every 2 years if used for swimming to ensure the 200m water resistance remains intact.
