The watch has a stainless steel case and bracelet, and a blue dial with steel hands and luminous hour markers. It also has a unidirectional rotating bezel with Arabic numerals at 12 o’clock. Reportedly inspired by Formula One racing, the watch is also water resistant to 200 metres, making it ideal for swimming, snorkelling and scuba diving. The success of the 2000 series later led Tag Heuer to produce the 3000, 4000 and 6000 series.
