Temporada? Edit: Oops. Didn't see the latest addition. Where does the Pasadena and Lemania chronographs fit in?
The Pasadena and the Lemania 510.5XX series share the same basic case, but the big difference is the movement. The Pasadena arrived in 1981 powered by the Valjoux 7750. Because Lemania was part of the consortium that bought Heuer in 1982, they swapped out the Valjoux movements for the 5100 and gave the watch a small redesign...and boom, you have a new model from 1983. These 510.5XX watches were the only Lemania engined watch to make it into the TAG Heuer days, and you do see some of these watches wearing TAG Heuer logos
I found this thread very useful as a starting point for those wanting to enter the realm of Vintage Heuers. Thank You to Calibre 11. Newbies guide if you will and also a nice short read for Vintage Heuer. 5 Reasons Collectors Love Vintage Heuer Chronographs

David Chalmers, founder of Calibre11.com, sold this material to TAG Heuer in 2022. As part of the agreement, his former website was taken down. This is why the links don't work. Much of this material has since been incorporated into TH's website, but it's no longer in its original form. https://www.tagheuer.com/us/en/vintage-collection/vintage-collection.html
