Some of the early Aquaracers still had the "Professional" on the dial.
Judging by the pictures this was in the 2006-2007 catalog, reference WAB1120.BB0802.
The watch in this catalog has the Aquaracer script so yours might be earlier than that but reference is the same.
Not a limited edition.
If you're interested in selling it I believe 650-950€ is the correct ballpark in this condition.

Hi Chrisred71 and others, I'm having a hard time trying to find the catalog. I saw it on my phone previously, and now I've lost it. Any chance anyone can provide a link to the discussion forum showing someone scanned the catalogs in here for others?
I guess you mean this one:

That could be Tag Heuer 2000 Aquaracer. So it’s both a 2000 and an Aquaracer! The following year of production, Tag dropped the “2000” from the name and the series became the Aquracer. So you’ve got a bit of history in that watch. Very cool
Below is my understanding of the history of the 2000 series which evolved into the Aquaracer series. The 2000 series was produced by TAG Heuer since the early 1980s up until 2004. There were several "models" within the series, and they were all 200 m water resistant. During this time period, TAG Heuer printed "professional" on their watch dials to indicate a quartz movement. Mechanical movements were printed with the word "automatic". In 2004, TAG introduced the "WAB" models within the 2000 series. These WAB models were the 2000 Aquaracer, with a WR of 300 m. The 2004 catalog shows two quartz watches - the WAB1110 (black dial) and WAB1112 (blue dial). Both dials have the word "professional" - again to designate a quartz movement. In 2005, the 2000 series ceased to exist and was replaced with the Aquaracer series. the WAB models remained, and automatic variants were also released (these had the word "Aquaracer" printed on the dial). There were other models introduced into the Aquaracer series, most notably the "WAF" (and "CAF") models. These were very similar to the previous "WK" (and "CK") models, but the WR was increased from 200 to 300m, and the word "professional" was replaced with "Aquaracer" on the dials of the quartz variants. The automatic variants had the words "Aquaracer Automatic" printed on the dial. Another interesting bit of information is that back then, TAG used a coloured logo (green/red) on the dial of their quartz watches, and a monochrome logo on the dials of their automatic watches. This changed over the years (some quartz watches have monochrome logos), but AFAIK only quartz watches use the coloured logo. If you really want to be nerdy, check out the TAG Heuer Model Code thread and that will explain the logic behind the model numbers.
