Heuer began producing the 1000 Series dive watches in the late 1970s, and in view of the popularity of this first collection, introduced the more fashion-forward 2000 Series in 1982. By 1990, TAG Heuer was ready to discontinue the 1000 Series, as the “tool” look of the collection was no match for the more stylish 2000 Series. This created the position for the new 1500 Series, which would offer the utilitarian features of the 1000 Series with some of the style of the 2000 Series.
This is the Tag Heuer GMT (Jumbo, known as the jumbo, as it's a 40mm, watches around 1990 were generally a 36mm).
