Kind of midway between the "vintage" ones like the 6105/6306/6309 and the modern ones like the SKX173/007. Like Ryan said, these are becoming collector's items.
I have both the 7002 150m and 200m versions and they are both dated 1996, which is probably the year they were phased out and replaced by the 7S26 divers.
I still wear my 7002 150m diver (got it new in 1996) as a beater watch and it's a tank. The 7002's are made recently enough that you can wear them like 7S26 beaters and they can withstand anything you can throw at them. You don't have to pamper them like you do the vintage ones.
Enjoy the 7002!
