Tag Heuer Buffs - please identify this watch
Discussion
Hello Tag taggers, can one of you please apply your magic watch nerd skills and ID this 1990s Tag Professional chronograph. My then wife gave it to me in 1997. Its red pointed stopwatch minute hand helped me avoid getting lost many times when I used to fly around in very small aeroplanes using deduced reckoning (no GPS). I have for many years been replacing the watch's leather straps at great expense with new Tag leather ones every time that they wear out. The last one died the death after being worn in the sea a lot over the last two years while I was working overseas. I now want to buy a Tag steel bracelet for the watch and would like to know which model of watch this is. There are no Tag dealers near me whom I can ask.
All info gratefully received.
PS: the watch needs some work, as the crown is not going in all the way, and the stop hands are not parking correctly, but that can wait.

I've got a 'Monza' and think the straps are alligator or similar. Cost about £220 each time and I've had to replace it 3 times. Then the face managed to somehow detach itself from the body and it rotates freely within the watch. Incidentally my Casio never gives such problems and cost about 60 times less. Also tells time.

For your wonky chrono hands try following the instructions in this video - skip to about 5mins to avoid the waffle. Most quartz chronos can have their hands reset in this way or a variation of it.

This did not work on my Tag, but it did work on the lovely 2000 Longines that I bought my nephew for his twentieth birthday, thanks.https://youtu.be/CblEQkveZ1A
