    Highlights

    We are proud to present this stunning Heuer Autavia for sale.

    Taking its name from a combination of its target markets (“AUTomotive- AVIAtion”), the Autavia wristwatch was unveiled in 1962 and was the first new model launched under the guidance of the company’s then-new CEO, Jack Heuer. It was produced alongside the popular Carrera yet managed to stay in production until the end of the Heuer brand in 1985. The original Autavia was a dashboard timer fitted into Jack Heuer’s rally cars, but eventually transformed into the wristwatch that we are all more familiar with.

    This particular example is the second generation of the Autavia and is set in an unpolished 40mm steel case with the faded ‘minutes/hours’ bezel (there were multiple bezel options for the Autavia models) that is bi-rotational. The dial is black and has printed minute/split-second markers around the outside for precision timing, as indicated by the bold red hand, as well as the 3 white contrasting sub-dials for measuring up to 60 minutes and up to 12 hours. Fitted with domed acrylic plexiglass and powered by the classic Valjoux 72 manual wind mechanism the watch comes on a new black ‘racing’ leather strap with a steel pin buckle.

    Produced in the years between 1968 and 1969 the watch is in fine, unpolished collectors condition considering its age.

    I have bought many watches over the years and some through online and retail specialists. I must say that the service, professionalism and attentive service by John and Dee at the Swiss Watch Company was exemplary. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them and hope to repeat the experience many times over the coming years.
