: I have managed to get another Heuer 1550 sg Bund. This one is in
: all its glory PERFECT. I have no other words. Doesn't have
: fighter jet pilot background like the last one I sold here, but
: this one is ALL original and in perfect working condition, and
: just been serviced, by my trusty watchmaker and a friend, never
: polished. Results from watch timing machine are, amplitude 292,
: beat error 0.1, and it is regulated to +3s per day. It comes
: with its genuine Heuer red leather box. And that is rare, really
: rare trust me :) It is manual wind Valjoux 230 Flyback
: chronograph, with column wheel, 44mm in diameter without crown.
: It is standard Heuer logo, no 3H-symbol only small T-Symbol,
: regular font version of the dial non cut, which tells that it is
: from late 60's early 70's. So I look for 2200 euro. I don't have
: Paypal here in Serbia, but I have sold three watches here
: already and have a good feedback's from forum members who bought
: them from me via bank transfer. In that price you will get
: genuine leather Hirsch Knight strap, watch will be shipped via
: Fedex or EMS and insured. Everything is in that price. I know it
: is not cheep but just look at it :) Thanks guys

: Description from Konrad Knirim book
: The first chronograph of Heuer-Leonidas for the Bundeswehr was
: Leonidas (cal. Valjoux 22) in relatively rare items and
: accordingly interesting for the collector. Next came Heuer and
: Sinn (cal. Heuer 1550 equal to Vx 23) in the same steel case
: like the Leonidas but with a somewhat different movement. The
: models of Heuer and Sinn are identical. The reason is that Sinn
: was the German supplier for Heuer of Switzerland. The
: chronograph of Heuer was supplied in a very interesting
: variation together with a theodolite for astro navigation, but
: regulated in sidereal time (cal. 1551 SGSZ). Vers.-Nr.:
: 6645-12-148-2298.
: Movement: Valjoux MN 230, flyback function, 36 h 17 jewels, max. +
: 10 s/day, max. pressure: 3 bar, working temperature: -18 C to 6o
: C, Incabloc-shock resist, anti-magnetic, H3- luminescent, year
: of introduction: 1968, weight: 50 g, producer: Heuer-Leonidas
: S.A. Biel, Switzerland.
: Application:
: All hand-worn models had the fly back function similar to those of
: the Third Reich Air Force and to those of the French Air Force,
: which allowed the chronograph to be pushed back to zero while
: running, with the capability of immediate restart.
: This chronograph is regulated to sidereal time and is part of an
: equipment for astronavigation ‘Vermessung Theodolith
: 6675-12-140-9136’ and to ‘astronomische
: Richtungsbestimmung,Vers.Nr. 6675-12-308-8782 ’ in a nice
: leather case.
: The chronograph was used to get the time while observing the
: azimuth in astronomic measurements. A sun year has 365 days,
: a.sun day has 24 hours, because of the earth moving around the
: sun in one year a sidereal year has 366 days starting in spring
: and a sidereal day has 23 hours, 56 min.and 3,5 seconds. So for
: fast astronavigation a watch or clock regulated in sidereal time
: saves the calculating effort.
: This watch has a separate reg.-no. and reference and is marked on
: the dial. The amount of pieces produced may be 50, so they are
: very rare
Price reduction to 1900euro.
