Description

John McClane's (Bruce Willis) TAG Heuer 3000 Professional Quartz watch from Renny Harlin's Die Hard 2. McClane wore his signature analog watch - the same style of watch he wore in John McTiernan's Die Hard, similarly turned inwards on his right wrist - while attempting to stop Col. William Stuart's (William Sadler) men from intercepting Ramon Esperanza (Franco Nero) from Dulles International Airport. Upon release, Die Hard 2 became the largest pre-opening film based on box-office gross over six years before the release of Roland Emmerich's Independence Day. Though initially greeted with mixed reviews, it has since been reconsidered as a modern classic and one of the best action films of 1990. Originating from the personal collection of property master Mike Papac, this real-world stainless steel TAG Heuer 3000 Professional Quartz chronograph features a glass (crystal) cover and a slim grey leather band. It includes three dials on the right side and depth markings up to 50m around its circumference. Due to a dead battery, its hour and minute hands are stopped at 11:45. The watch exhibits scratching, slight rust to its face from aging, and cracking to the leather from production wear.
