FS: HEUER AUTAVIA ref 73363 MH manual movement

This has been my daily wearer and attracted favourable comment amongst the cognoscenti of classic watch owners but now is the time to let it go for another to enjoy. In fact I'm trying out an eponymous Viceroy Autavia. However my Autavia is quite a rare manual version believed to be a military version because of the black dial, grey registers and white hands. Marked between the lugs as 214096 and 73363. Case is solid stainless steel, diameter 42 mm, plastic crystal. Manual wind so will be a Valjoux movement not sure which as I've not had the caseback off. Good time keeper, sometimes needs a shake to get started so probably could do with a service. Re sets to zero fine, registers work fine. Case in good condition, no obvious scratches, very small area of brassing on underside but consistent with age. Luminous material on hands intact, dial is clean and unmarked, perhaps slightly faded to a dark chocolate/light black. Markers have luminous material intact, very very tiny bit missing on 2 marker but almost insignificant. Tachymeter Bezel in good shape if a little stiff to rotate. Comes fitted with a fairly new black perforated strap. All told very presentable but not so precious that you won't want to wear it and that's what's all about in my view. So feel free to ask anything else. My number is 01325 333852 or email for images.
