Partially verified

This TAG Heuer 1000 series wristwatch, identified by reference 980.013N, is a quartz-powered timepiece dating to approximately 1999–2000. It features a stainless steel case and matching bracelet, housing a black dial with luminous indices and a date window at the three o'clock position. The rotating bezel displays a blue insert that exhibits signs of fading. The dial is marked with "1000", "professional", and "200 METERS", as well as "T SWISS MADE T" at the bottom. The auction description reports that the watch is fitted with a new battery and a new seal, though it explicitly advises against swimming with vintage models of this type.

The condition of the piece is presented as functional, with the source noting the absence of contemporary pressure testing or historical service records for the movement.

Movement and Functionality

This timepiece is powered by a quartz movement. According to the auction description, the watch has been provided with a fresh battery and a new seal to assist in maintenance. Despite these updates, the text explicitly cautions against using the watch for swimming, stating that it is not recommended for such activities with vintage or classic pieces.

The source clarifies that the seller classifies the water resistance status as "Not Water Resistant," emphasizing that the installation of new seals does not constitute a current certification for water-related activities or pressure testing. There is no provided record of previous repairs or internal inspections of the movement.
