First produced in 1984 and manufactured for 15+ years, the "super pro" is a carryover from the pre-TAG days at Heuer (TAG acquired Heuer in 1985) when they were still a respected manufacturer of professional grade timekeeping instruments. It is considered by many the last professional grade dive watch offered by the company.

Pictured at the top of the page are catalog reference numbers 840.006-2 (right) and WS2110-2 (left). 840.006-2 is the earlier of the two, probably from the '90s. WS2110-2 uses the later TAG HEUER numbering system and dates to approx 2000. Both watches are otherwise identical. The reference numbers (found on the back side of the case) identify both as the larger "second generation" style case. The earlier generation watches are identified by ref number 840.006 (without the -2). These cases are slightly smaller and have a more rounded profile.

HISTORY OF TAG HEUER

The TAG Heuer company has its roots in 1860 when Edouard Heuer founded Uhrenmanufaktur Heuer AG in St-Imier, Switzerland, patenting his first chronograph in 1882. In 1887 Heuer patented an 'oscillating pinion' still used by major watchmakers for mechanical chronographs.

Formation

TAG Heuer was formed in 1985 when TAG (Techniques d'Avant Garde), manufacturers of high-tech items such as ceramic turbochargers for Formula One cars, acquired Heuer.

On 13 September 1999 TAG Heuer accepted a bid from LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton S.A. of SwFr1.15 billion (£452.15 million) (US$739 million) contingent upon a transfer of 50.1% of stocks.
