FS: Heuer 844 Monnin

Hi everyone,
Here for your consideration my Heuer 844 Monnin on excelent condition.
Movement was serviced recently working strong.
Case was only slightly polished as it was on very good condition as the watch seems to have been for many years at the deep of some drawer.
The Dial is really stunning, the finish is a satin deep charcoal, with the most gorgeous rich cream patina to the lume.
Note the French spelling of ‘Professionel’ and ‘Made in France’ script. The deep gloss red 24hr numerals are beautifully delicate, and lift the design (all small points at pictures are only dust).
The bezel is the same which came with the watch and on new condition as you can see on the pictures.
The movement is an Automatic FE 4611A - France Ebauche.
I thought it was a Felsa but it seems it's really a France Ebauche as the Felsa is a Swiss movement and these watches were manufactured in France (see Dial) and only after they show to be a success Heuer moved the production to Switzerland.
The watch come on a very nice beads of rice bracelet (Squinky) that gave it yet the 70's look.
All housed in that iconic 42mm oversized case design, which graced the Heuer range for many years, and survived (in a slightly thinner form) until the early 1990s.
This is essentially the watch that saved Heuer during the quartz crisis, when many Swiss watch companies were disappearing down the pan.
