A complete and beautifully preserved example of the TAG Heuer 2000 Professional — offered here as a true full set, including its original TAG Heuer presentation case, box, and original Daimaru department store leaflet from Japan.
The reference 972.013 represents one of the most iconic expressions of TAG Heuer’s 1990s tool-watch design language. Purpose-built, robust, and unmistakably of its era, the 2000 Professional was engineered as a genuine dive watch while retaining the refined proportions that made it equally at home as an everyday sports watch.
This example features the highly legible silver dial with applied luminous markers, framed date window at 3 o’clock, and the distinctive TAG Heuer handset that defined the collection. The unidirectional dive bezel remains crisp, and the stainless steel case shows honest, even wear consistent with age — no aggressive polishing, preserving its original lines and character.
Power comes from a reliable Swiss quartz movement, delivering excellent accuracy with minimal maintenance — exactly as intended for a professional-grade sports watch of the period.
What truly elevates this piece is its complete provenance. The inclusion of the original Daimaru documentation offers a rare insight into the watch’s original retail life in Japan, adding genuine collector appeal and historical depth seldom seen with surviving examples today.

Why This TAG Heuer 2000?
The TAG Heuer 2000 Professional remains one of the brand’s most recognisable and wearable vintage sports watches.
