anything they want, but it won't be an anniversary issue. As I mentioned in my SLA033 pictorial:

Thus all three would have been released on their inspirations' 50-year anniversary. That does make a further "re-creation" in 2020 rather tricky, given that the next diver references were released years later. The venerable 6159-7010 Grandfather Tuna came out in 1975 and the 150M 6309-7040/9, in 1976. Therefore, your guess is as good (or better) as mine...
I have no idea if they introduced anything new in 1980 but I couldn't come up with anything for 1970... . In 1990, they released their first computer dive watch (pure digital instrument). The "Arnie" which AFAIK was released in 1982 came out this year...
