Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.
Q: What exactly is this model? A: It is a TAG Heuer S/EL (Sports Elegance) Professional 200, reference WG1219, from around 1997. It features a mid‑size 33–34 mm stainless‑steel case, a green dial with date, a rotating timing bezel and an integrated S/EL stainless‑steel bracelet. This example has a sapphire crystal and is rated to 200 metres when properly sealed and tested.
Q: Is 33–34 mm a women’s or a unisex size—how will it wear? A: It is a versatile mid‑size that suits many wrists and is often considered unisex. This piece is currently sized to fit a 17 cm wrist or smaller; links can be removed for a tighter fit. If your wrist is larger than 17 cm, additional links may be required.
Q: What movement and battery does it use, and how long will the battery last? A: Period‑correct WG1219 models typically use a Swiss quartz calibre from ETA’s 955.412 family. These movements take a 371 (SR920SW) silver‑oxide cell and include an end‑of‑life indicator where the seconds hand skips at intervals when the battery is low. Battery life varies with use, but 2–3 years is common for time‑and‑date quartz models.
Q: Can I swim with this watch? A: When new, Professional 200 models were engineered for 200‑metre water resistance. For any vintage watch, water resistance is not permanent. Before swimming, have the watch pressure‑tested and the gaskets renewed by a qualified watchmaker. Always ensure the crown is fully screwed down, rinse with fresh water after sea water, and avoid operating the crown under water.
Q: Is the bezel suitable for timing and does it rotate one way? A: Yes. The Professional 200/S/EL design uses a diving‑style elapsed‑time bezel that rotates in one direction for safety, allowing you to time swims or other activities at a glance.
Q: Does this example have sapphire or mineral glass? A: This particular watch is fitted with a sapphire crystal, which offers excellent scratch resistance and clarity. Note that sapphire improves durability but does not affect water resistance; that depends on seals and correct assembly.
Q: How is the S/EL bracelet sized—can most jewellers adjust it? A: The S/EL bracelet uses interlocking S‑shaped links and specific pins/screws. Many watchmakers can size it, but some use a dedicated tool. We recommend professional sizing to avoid cosmetic damage. This example is set for a 17 cm wrist; extra links may be sourced through specialists if you need more length.
Q: What care and service schedule do you recommend for a vintage TAG Heuer quartz like this? A: Replace the battery as soon as the end‑of‑life indicator appears or every 2–3 years. If the watch will be used in water, have the water resistance checked and gaskets renewed roughly every 2–3 years (or after any case opening). A full service (movement inspection, seals, and cleaning) every 5–6 years is a sensible guideline. Avoid hot showers/saunas, strong magnets, and harsh chemicals; wipe the case and bracelet with a soft cloth after wear.
Q: What comes with this watch? A: This listing is for the watch only; no accessories are included. Everything supplied is always listed under Accessories—if it isn’t listed, it is not included.
Q: How do you authenticate this watch? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is examined by in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, dial and printing, case and bracelet construction, movement, engravings and serials. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and are happy to provide additional photos or details on request.
