TAG Heuer 6000 Series Calibre 4.95 (ETA 2892A2 Chronometer Grade) Complete Movement Kit with Salmon Dial
Overview
This is a complete TAG Heuer Calibre 4.95 movement kit based on the ETA 2892A2 chronometer-grade automatic movement, specifically configured for the TAG Heuer 6000 series reference WH5216-K1. The 2892A2 in this execution is a rare factory-upgraded variant, certified to COSC chronometer standards and finished to TAG Heuer’s specifications. The kit includes the fully assembled movement, original salmon/copper dial with applied Arabic numerals and TAG Heuer shield logo, matching luminova-filled hands, and the signed crown with stem.
The ETA 2892A2 was introduced in 1975 as a high-end automatic movement, prized for its slim 3.60 mm profile and robustness. TAG Heuer selected this calibre for its 6000 series in the late 1990s and early 2000s, branding it as Calibre 4.95. This particular version features a “Côtes de Genève”-decorated rotor engraved with TAG Heuer — 4.95 — TWENTY-ONE 21 JEWELS — Swiss, confirming its authenticity and grade. The dial retains its original applied markers, luminova fill, and factory markings: Chronometer | Officially certified | 200 METERS | SWISS MADE.
The movement is graded Excellent in our Condition Grading Scale, with no visible damage or corrosion. All functions—central hours, minutes, seconds, and rapid date correction—operate as intended. This kit is intended for collectors restoring a TAG Heuer 6000 or watchmakers assembling a custom build. The movement will require standard servicing (cleaning, oiling, and timing adjustment) before use to meet manufacturer specifications.

Compatibility
This movement kit is designed for the TAG Heuer 6000 series, specifically the WH5216-K1 reference. The 25.60 mm diameter and 3.60 mm height match the original case dimensions. The dial foot positions and hand stack heights are correct for the 6000 series, ensuring proper fitment with the original case and crystal.
Watchmakers should verify case compatibility if adapting this movement to non-TAG Heuer projects. The ETA 2892A2 architecture is widely used, but dial and hand clearances may require adjustment for non-OEM cases. The crown tube diameter is standard for TAG Heuer 6000 cases.
