$4200.00$4050.00
The Heuer Autavia is perhaps one of the most iconic racing chronographs. Heuer first applied the name "Autavia" (a combination of "automotive" and "aviation") to dashboard clocks in cars and airplanes. But it's with the chronographs intended for use in motorsports that the name "Autavia" is best associated.
The large 42mm stainless steel case of the Autavia has its unmistakable cushion shape. The watch looks very solid on the wrist and is comfortable to wear due to the curved case shape. The chronograph pushers are fluted, the winding crown shows the Heuer logo.
The motorsport background, sporty look, legendary movement and a beautiful condition make this Heuer Autavia the perfect vintage collector's watch.
Condition:
The example offered here dates from 1976 and is in excellent and original condition. The matte black dial surface is free of any marks. The white sub-dials show the 30-minute counter at 3 o'clock and the hour totalizator at 9 o'clock, both are beautifully preserved.
The watch is unpolished with both serial & model numbers clearly visible between the lugs and the caseback sticker is still attached.
Dial and hands are in excellent condition and all the tritium intact. The bezel is in excellent condition with no noticeable scratches.
All time-keeping and chronograph functions are in working order and the watch keeps time well for its age.
