I have for sale a VERY RARE full size Tag Heuer 2000 40mm ( without crown ) with the Dubois-Depraz quartz chronograph module. This is an early transition model, with the non-Tag, Heuer branded back and non-Tag, Heuer branded crown. Also rare is the black PVD body and gold plated bezel combination. Both the quartz and automatic version of these chronographs use the Dubois Depraz 2000 chronograph module. The Automatic movement (LWO 283) mates the DD2000 module to the ETA 2892 base, while the quartz movement (Calibre 185) uses a ESA 555.XXX (also known as the ETA 955.XXX) tractor. The Dubois Depraz 2000 module was the result of a partnership between Lemania and Dubois Depraz that began in the late 1970s. Because Heuer contributed to the funding of the project, the LW0 283 was initially exclusive to Heuer, but when Lemania sold its shares in Heuer in 1984 to TAG, the use of the movement became more widespread. Lemania sold the movement as the Lemania 283 to several high-end clients such as Audemars Piguet in their Royal Oak Offshore, Girard Perregaux (7000 Chronograph) and Baume et Mercier. The calibre 185 quartz chronograph used in this watch for sale was effectively a forerunner of the Calibre S movement, combining a quartz base with a mechanical chronograph module.
