I recently acquired this early 80s pre-Tag diver that I’m hoping to breathe life in. I believe the native movement was a ESA 963.114 which is now obsolete. It’s my understanding that the ISA 1198.32 with 3 o’clock date supplanted it and is a direct fit. I’m hoping to get confirmation of this. I’m also hoping someone can lead me in the right direction toward finding proper hands as I don’t know the dimensions that would fit the ISA and still work for this watch. Thanks in advance!
Recall this style of case came in two designs: 1. Heuer 980.006 2. Heuer 980.006L which is thinner cased Thus they both utilized different movements. Are you certain the ETA 2824 would fit the 980.006L?
Yes Tom but he prefers to focus on servicing the movement. He likely won’t know what the correct hand lengths should be per OEM specs.
And he can’t access this information from where people here would find it. I would try our sister forum with the same log in as here https://forums.calibre11.com/
I would touch base with Justin at tag1000diver.com. He services and has parts for all things Heuer diver.
Great suggestion. Justin expediently got this jumbo Heuer up and running for a reasonable price. Excellent communication as well!
