Pre-Owned TAG Heuer Super Professional Diver AS07149

WHY WE LOVE IT

There is no doubt that diving watches hold a special place in the hearts of many collectors, ourselves included. In fact, Analog:Shift was founded with its eyes set squarely on vintage divers.

With their simple designs and robust movements, the tool watches of the 1960s and 1970s were built to accompany the adventurer across the globe and to keep time at its great heights as well as its dark depths. Today, the dive watch segment is stronger than ever, with the spirit of a past era living on in the full spectrum of the market — from entry-level micro-brands all the way up to the big players.

In the late 1970s, Heuer was looking to capitalize on the demand for dive watches, and they succeeded — today, they feature a full line of divers with different shapes, sizes, and movements. In fact, their Aquaracer is the entry point for many young people into the world of dive watches, full stop!

The particular watch, a 'Super Professional' Diver, dates to circa the 1990s and features a 43mm satin-finished stainless steel case with a sapphire crystal, a signed crown, and a stainless steel unidirectional dive timing bezel, and a matte black Tritium dial with a matching handset. Powered by a robust and reliable automatic winding movement and comes paired to a matching satin-finished stainless steel multi-link bracelet with a signed locking clasp with divers extension.

If you are looking for a good looking, functional, and affordable option into the dive-watch segment, this neo-vintage time-capsule is a tough option to beat!
