For sale is an early 1980s pre-merger Heuer quartz 200m Professional diver, reference 980.006 — the rare “Jumbo” 42 mm version with aggressive angled bulky case that makes this an ultimate purpose-built tool watch. Pre-Tag Heuer models, especially in this larger size, are hard to find and often sell for over $1,000 in good condition, making this an exceptional deal.
This is a feature-packed dive watch for its era: 42 mm case (very large then), quick-set date, hacking seconds, 200m water resistance, screw-down crown, and thick stainless steel construction with a thick mineral crystal for durability. The bezel still clicks with nice action (though slightly hard to turn), lume remains functional, and the crown screws down tight (the crown engages properly but can be slightly finicky, a very minor issue that doesn't affect functionality.) With fresh seals, this could be a reliable vintage diver for actual water use.
The watch was clearly built to be a tough tool rather than a luxury piece — heavy, legible, and over-engineered for real-world abuse as the Swiss industry shifted toward luxury. It shows honest use that adds to the vintage charm. The black dial has some age spotting and a small rust spot at the edge (likely cleanable to restore it closer to new). The bezel has some scratches but nothing standout — it enhances the tool-watch aesthetic. The case and caseback show minor scratches that are not noticeable from a distance.
The watch is full original except for the aftermarket rubber strap and buckle. A great chance to own a rare pre-merger Heuer tool watch at a very attractive price — perfect for collectors of vintage dive watches or anyone wanting a tough, feature-rich 1980s Swiss diver with real purpose-built character. Ready to wear right out of the box!
While the watch is currently working as intended, it is sold as-is and may require seals, or service in the future. Please refer to the photos and video to judge the condition for yourself.
Due to international shipping regulations, I will have to remove the battery from the watch prior to shipment. However, I can guarantee that the watch will be working upon shipment. Any details needed about the battery, I can provide. Thanks for understanding, and sorry for the inconvenience.
I am an American selling from Indonesia. I ship with a flat $19 fee and will use DHL Express (roughly one week to all international destinations).
Please carefully examine the photos and don’t hesitate to ask any questions you may have.
