This is something I've been thinking about creating for a long, long time (ever since someone told me that the Carrera and Monaco had been in constant production since their release in the 1960s). But every time I started it seemed like quite a difficult chart to achieve. But now, finally, I've done it and I think it's turned out quite well.
Admittedly you will probably need to open the image in a new tab to see everything properly, and the most important thing to note is that the numbers at the bottom of the chart represent the years from 1986 to 2020.
As you can see, there is not one single watch model that has survived from 1986 to now without falling out of production for a while, but the one that has been around the longest is the Formula 1 with just four years out of the range.
Obviously this is not really an exact science since watches can be 'available' even after they have been removed from catalogues and websites, but this is a good 'guide' to which models were available through the years from 1986 to date.
Some models have a longer history of course; in fact every watch bar the Formula 1 which was available in 1986 was a carry over from the Heuer era and can also be found with a Heuer logo on the dial.
Finally, in case you are wondering, the colours have no deep meaning, they are just there to make it easier to read.
