History The TAG Heuer 2000 series was introduced in the early 1980s and served as a foundational pillar for the brand's modern identity, strictly adhering to the famous "Six Features" of a professional sports watch. As the series evolved through the 1990s and into the 2000s, the "Exclusive" line was introduced to offer a more refined, luxurious take on the rugged diver, incorporating intricate dial textures and polished accents. This specific era of TAG Heuer laid the direct groundwork for the highly successful Aquaracer collection, making these transitionary models an important and celebrated chapter in the brand's expansive dive watch history. / Second Vintage SKU: TAG-AHX-0001
