: The early Heuer Quartz divers were fitted with an ESA 536.121 and I
: stand corrected, but believe these were used up until the Tag
: takeover when we see the ETA movements. This was around 1986 and
: the first series to use the ETA were the Heuer 1000 (no TAG on
: the dial) - see number 4 in the picture.
: The 844 (automatic) and 8440 (quartz) were the first of the Heuer
: divers (referred to as the 1000 series). They were made in
: France and have a unique dial with 24 hour numerals (12 to 24 in
: red) and cathedral hands. (number 2 is an 844)
: You can read the history of the 1000 series on Davids blog

: It would be great if you post a picture of the dial.

Hi Paul
Thanks for responding.
I did see that blog on cal11.com - the most informative I have seen to date!
I would be interested to find out a definitive list of ETA movement that Heuer (and later Tag Heuer) used in this watch. It is difficult for people to identify a FrankenHeuer if the watch's movement details are not recorded anywhere official. I'm pretty sure mine a bit of a Franken with the 2824 mech but I don't mind as the dial, bezel, bracelet and case are in such good shape. As these watchs are known as 'beaters' it will be harder and harder to get nice example of them as time goes by.
Anyway attached is a pic of mine - looks better in the flesh than in the photo.
Thanks
Ben
