Heuer 3000 Series Chronograph 236.006

Heuer 3000 Series Chronograph 236.006 Black PVD Men's Diver Watch

A rare chronograph from Heuer's short-lived 3000 Series, the premium diver range launched in the final years before the brand became TAG Heuer. This version has a striking black PVD-coated case, one of the boldest looks in the range. The 3000 stands out for its angular case and its twelve-sided unidirectional rotating bezel with small ball-shaped grips for easy turning. The black dial is finished with metal-framed hour markers, date window and chronograph sub-dials, along with distinctive pushers inspired by Heuer's classic chronographs. Inside is the Calibre 185, a Swiss quartz base paired with a Dubois Depraz mechanical chronograph module, combining quartz reliability with a proper mechanical chronograph action. The chronograph was produced for only a few years before being dropped from the range, making it far scarcer than the three-hand models. A characterful and collectable piece from the Heuer era.
