TAG Heuer S/el (Sports and Elegance) Professional Quartz Watch
This is a vintage TAG Heuer 'S/el' (Sports and Elegance) series wristwatch, a design that rose to prominence in the late 1980s and 1990s, notably associated with Ayrton Senna. The watch features the iconic 'link' bracelet, characterized by double-S shaped links in a matte sandblasted or grained steel finish. The case is integrated with a unidirectional rotating bezel featuring embossed Arabic numerals for dive timing. The white dial displays the TAG Heuer shield in color, Mercedes-style luminous hands, and a date window at the 3 o'clock position. Notations on the dial indicate it is 'Quartz' and water-resistant to '200 METERS'. In terms of condition, the piece shows significant signs of age and wear; the 'lume' on the hands has developed a greenish-grey patina, and there is visible surface grime and oxidation across the steel bracelet and recessed areas of the case. Scratches are evident on the crystal and bezel, suggesting heavy daily use. The crown appears original, and the overall construction reflects the robust mid-luxury quality of Swiss manufacturing from the 1990s era.
