Object description

Case and Dial

The watch features a stainless steel case measuring 42mm in diameter, excluding the winding crown. The watch is equipped with a fixed stainless steel bezel marked with numeric graduation every five minutes. The dial is white and includes applied baton indices and a large numeral at the 12 o'clock position. The hands are white and stainless steel in a sword style.

The case back is a screw-down type and features engravings noting the model reference, serial number, and water resistance specifications.

Evidence for this section
  • “SIZE – DIAMETER EXCLUDING WINDING CROWN: 42MM”
  • “It is a screwed back case with engraved outside “Tag Heuer – Swiss Made since 1860 – WAU1113 – WRD0502 – Water Resistant 200m tested – Stainless Steel – Sapphire Crystal”.”

Movement and Function

The listing characterizes the movement as quartz. The watch functions include the display of hours, minutes, small seconds, and a large date window located at the 6 o'clock position on the dial. The crown is identified as a screwed Tag Heuer signed crown.

The documentation provided by the source contains a contradiction regarding the movement, referencing both a quartz movement and an automatic caliber 1326; the latter appears in a section detailing history and technical specs possibly inconsistent with the item description.

Evidence for this section
  • “The watch comes a quartz movement.”
  • “Automatic Vacheron Constantin movement with caliber 1326 with 25 jewels, 28,800 A/h and approximately 48 hours of power reserve.”

Bracelet and Condition

The watch is provided on a stainless steel bracelet with a double Tag Heuer clasp buckle. The total length of the bracelet is noted as 7.5 inches. The auction description reports the overall condition of the object as very good.

The watch does not include original boxes or accompanying papers as part of the lot.

Evidence for this section
  • “The watch has a steel bracelet and double Tag Heuer clasp buckle.”
  • “The length of the bracelet is 7.5 inches.”
  • “CONDITION: VERY GOOD”

Open research questions
