    For sale a very difficult to find TAG HEUER Super Professional Diver with Diver Kit in leather case including spare strap, a strap-changing tool and a decompression table.

    In excellent condition and wears beautifully on the wrist

    This is an amazing watch with great patina.

    This watch is a transitional model, only known to have been available in 1986, the year after the Tag takeover. What makes this transitional and so rare? It has:

    - Tag Heuer dial
    - Tag Heuer crown
    - Heuer case
    - Heuer bracelet
    - Heuer dive kit and papers

    The dive kit on this piece is beyond extensive. It is a leather diver kit, signed Heuer on the buckle and inside the leather sleeve. The ISOfrane straps are there too! As is the Heuer branded spring bar tool, in the orange tube (the tube has been lost in 99% of the kits I've seen). Also included are the papers and dive table, all of which are Heuer signed. Tag leather dive kits are out there, but the Heuer ones just can't be had, and this one is easily the most complete I've ever seen.

    The Super Pro is a fantastic watch, a 1000m rated diver in a bead blasted, monocoque, Heuer-signed case. This also comes with the full bracelet. Though does need to be water pressure tested before diving.

    The movement is an ETA 2892, at last measurement running about +5. So very decent for a 30 year old watch. Purchased from a dealer early last year and serviced prior to sale.

    What you should know: The two bezel lume plots at the 9 & 11 position have been replaced after shaken loose from a recent ultrasonic clean. The reverser wheels have also been re-cleaned and re-oiled so no rotor spin shake. It's always advised to have a water pressure test before water sports - (edit on the 9th July 5:34am)

    Now, onto the tech specs:

    Case size: 43mm

    Lugs: 20mm

    Depth rating: 1000m

    Movement: ETA 2892

    Crystal: flat sapphire, no chips or scratches

    Bracelet: full length with Heuer signed clasp

    Accessories: full dive kit, all Heuer signed


    Asking USD1700 plus shipping.

    Watch is located in Australia but happy to ship overseas
