Heuer Professional Vintage Diver Full Steel Quartz Black Dial (Unpolished)

Heuer Diver Professional Ref. 980.006

Heuer is a historically important Swiss watchmaker best known for its deep roots in sports timing, motorsport, and professional tool watches. Founded in 1860, the brand built its reputation on precision chronographs and rugged instruments designed for real-world use. Prior to its acquisition by TAG in 1985, Heuer produced a wide range of highly regarded watches that emphasized functionality, legibility, and robust construction, many of which have become increasingly collectible today.

The Heuer Diver Professional series represents the brand’s focus on purpose-built sports watches during the late 1970s and 1980s. Designed to meet the demands of professional diving, these models feature durable stainless steel cases, high-contrast dials, and reliable movements engineered for accuracy and dependability. Reference 980.006 stands out as a classic example of Heuer’s pre-TAG dive watches, valued for its clean design, strong build quality, and direct connection to the brand’s tool-watch heritage.

Key Details To Consider

This vintage 1980s Heuer Diver Professional reference 980.006 is presented in outstanding all-original condition and has never been polished. Examples preserved at this level are increasingly difficult to find, and this watch clearly reflects the careful ownership and minimal wear it has seen over the years.

The stainless steel case retains its original factory finish throughout, showing only very light signs of use. The black dial is flawless, with crisp printing and excellent contrast, and the unidirectional bezel operates smoothly with firm, precise clicks.

The original bracelet is complete with all links and will comfortably fit a wrist up to 8.5 inches (21.5 cm). The quartz movement is functioning properly and keeping excellent time, making this a strong and honest example of Heuer’s professional dive watch from the pre-TAG era.
