FS: Zodiac (Autavia) 2446C GMT -- “Poor Man’s” Heuer

For sale, Zodiac (Autavia) 2446C GMT . . . “Poor Man’s” Heuer . . . all original

  • this is a late version of the 2446C GMT, so we see the red inserts and triangular tips on the main time-of-day hands and the red second hand, with the fluted pushers
  • beautiful aging of the lume on the hour and minute hands; matching the triangular tip of the GMT hand
  • case marked 2446C; serial number 196139 is correct for a late version of 2446C GMT; I believe that the case is the original finish; has not been polished; has had light wear
  • watch sets, winds and runs well, gaining approximately 20 seconds per day
  • chronograph functions (start / stop / reset) are quick and crisp
  • everything on the watch appears to be original -- case, pushers, crown, dial and hands; components used on the Zodiac 2446C GMTs were identical to those used on the Heuer Autavias . . . the only difference is the name on the dial and movement
  • color of the bezel is exceptionally bright / strong; some small marks on the bezel insert (worst marks at 13)
  • sold as "head only"
  • Priced at $2,600, plus shipping and insurance (required), payment by bank wire or check; no PayPal
Appears to be an all-original watch; bezel is the best I have seen on any 2446C GMT . . . a Poor Man’s Autavia 2446C GMT, selling at half the price of the Heuer.

E-mail with any questions.
