Presented for auction by Second Vintage This distinctive TAG Heuer Professional stands out immediately through its sought-after grey granite dial, a less common and visually striking variant of the classic sports watch. Paired with perfectly aged, creamy tritium luminous material and an entirely matte sandblasted steel case, this 1990s timepiece offers tremendous character and robust wrist presence. Brand: TAG Heuer Model: Professional Reference Number: 959706 D Movement: Quartz ETA caliber 955.114 Dial: Grey granite texture with creamy tritium luminous indices Case Size: 41mm (excluding the crown) Case Material: Stainless steel Production Year: 1990s Condition: Excellent vintage condition. Dial and Hands The dial is stunning, defined by a distinctive grey granite or speckled texture that provides exceptional depth and character. The applied indices are filled with tritium luminous material that has aged to an even, creamy patina. All printed text and the brand logo remain crisp, with no visible spotting or degradation across the textured surface. The watch features classic Mercedes style hands with luminous fills that match the dial indices perfectly. Under magnification, light oxidation is visible on the metal frames of the hands, confirming their honest aging alongside the dial. Case and Crystal The stainless steel case features a consistent matte sandblasted finish throughout, emphasizing its utilitarian design. It displays honest wear with a strong factory finish, showing light handling marks and minor edge wear consistent with its age. The crown guards remain well-preserved, safely housing the screw-down crown which features a crisp TAG Heuer shield signature and well-defined fluting. The matte steel bezel includes the signature rider tabs, an intact luminous pip at the 12 o'clock position, and black engraved numerals that remain crisp and fully filled, showing only minor edge wear. The flat crystal is clear, presenting no significant scratches, chips, or hazing. Movement Inside is a clean ETA-based quartz movement, marked as caliber 955.114. The movement is proudly engraved with the TAG Heuer signature, noting a seven-jewel construction. It presents beautifully with a battery installed and shows no visible corrosion or battery leak damage. Strap The watch is fitted with its original signed bracelet, executing the same matte steel finish as the case. The multi-link bracelet features endlinks stamped 606/8 and secures via a signed folding clasp bearing the TAG Heuer shield.
