Vintage TAG Heuer 844/5 Professional Diver “Jumbo”
This is an authentic, completely honest, and unmolested example of the iconic TAG Heuer 844/5 automatic diver. As the final automatic reference in the historic 844 lineage, this 42mm “Jumbo” model features an untouched factory tritium dial, original hands, unpolished case geometry, and the original stainless steel bracelet with the factory-correct 148/3 stamped clasp.
The movement has just been fully overhauled and regulated by a professional master watchmaker. Comes on the original steel bracelet — no box or papers.

Condition & Warranty
Honest, unpolished vintage condition with sharp factory bevels and period-correct surface marks. Water resistance not guaranteed — original crystal and gasket were intentionally left undisturbed to preserve authentic OEM parts, and it did not pass modern pressure testing due to the age of the original seal. Covered by a 1-year TamboWatches mechanical warranty.
