Offered in this auction by Second Vintage A classic example of TAG Heuer's transitional 3000 series design, this reference 934.213 highlights the distinctive dodecagonal bezel and a highly attractive textured grey dial that define the era. Brand: TAG Heuer Model: Professional Reference Number: 934.213 Movement: Quartz caliber 4.89 / 955 414 Dial: Textured grey with luminous indices Case Size: 36 mm (excluding the crown) Case Material: Stainless steel, gold-tone bezel Production Year: 1980s Condition: Good vintage condition. Dial and Hands The textured grey dial is excellently preserved, remaining clean with no visible staining or moisture damage. All printed text is crisp and fully intact. The luminous plots remain intact and have developed a consistent, warm patina that provides wonderful character. The Mercedes-style hands are original to the watch and show light surface oxidation, with their luminous material perfectly matching the aging of the dial indices. There is no significant corrosion or deformation present on the handset. Case and Crystal The stainless steel case features a matte grey finish that displays honest wear consistent with age and use, including visible handling marks and light scratches. The edges show some softening from wear, while the caseback engravings remain clear and legible. The distinctive 12-sided gold-tone bezel exhibits visible scratches and dings throughout, along with significant plating loss on the outer edges and raised sections, though the black-filled markers remain mostly intact. The watch features a signed gold-tone crown with a raised TAG Heuer shield logo, which shows visible wear and slight plating loss on its knurled edges. The flat crystal is clear, showing no obvious scratches, chips, or crazing. Movement Powering this timepiece is a quartz ETA-based movement, marked as caliber 4.89 and 955 414. The movement appears clean with no obvious battery leakage or heavy corrosion. A battery is present, and the crisp engravings note seven jewels and Swiss V8 origin. Strap The watch is fitted with its original signed two-tone jubilee-style bracelet. The bracelet shows substantial wear, specifically heavy plating loss on the gold-tone center links, particularly near the end links. The clasp is signed with the TAG Heuer logo and exhibits typical desk-diving scratches. The bracelet will accommodate a maximum wrist size of up to 18 cm. Condition Good vintage condition. The dial is exceptionally preserved with a highly attractive and warm luminous patina. The case shows honest age-related wear, including scratches, handling marks, and softened edges. The gold-tone bezel and the original two-tone bracelet both exhibit significant plating loss, particularly on the raised sections, outer edges, and center links. The quartz movement is visually clean and well-kept. Dimensions The case measures 36 mm (excluding the crown). Remarks This Professional offers a fantastic opportunity to acquire a classic mid-1980s TAG Heuer. The combination of the signature 12-sided bezel, the original signed bracelet, and a remarkably clean textured dial with warm luminous patina makes this an appealing vintage timepiece.
