Dating to the late 1980s or early 1990s, this TAG Heuer 3000 Professional is a distinctive example of the brand's early sports-watch design, combining the angular architecture of the 3000 series with the understated elegance of a two-tone finish.
The silver-toned dial features applied gold-tone hour markers, a triangular index at 12 o'clock and matching luminous hands. A framed date aperture at 3 o'clock provides everyday practicality, while the classic red and green TAG Heuer shield and Professional 200 Metres signature complete a design unmistakably associated with the brand's early years.
The 38mm case is particularly distinctive, featuring the sculpted profile and geometric bezel that define the 3000 collection. Gold-tone accents contrast with the brushed stainless steel, while the engraved bezel markings and decorative elements give the watch a strong architectural character. The original-style two-tone bracelet continues the design, finished with a TAG Heuer-signed folding clasp.
Powered by a Swiss quartz movement, the watch offers the convenience and precision associated with TAG Heuer's professional sports watches of the period.
The watch displays honest signs of age and use, particularly across the gold-tone bezel, where surface scratches and wear have developed over time. The silver dial remains attractive, with its applied markers, original design details and characteristic two-tone appearance.
A distinctive vintage TAG Heuer, combining the bold design of the 3000 collection with the versatility of a classic silver-and-gold sports watch.
