FS: Heuer Autavia 1163 V Cal 12

Up for sale is my cherished Heuer Autavia from circa 1972.

This watch is fitted with the famous Cal 12 micro-rotor automatic chronograph movement which is still in use by Breitling in some of its current production models.

The watch is completely original and has not been polished or played with. The overall condition is 95%+ and there just a few small marks on the side of the case and some very minor wear to the edge of the bezel insert. Time, chronograph and bezel functions are brilliant.

This watch has only had occasional wear as I am a collector and wear my watches in rotation but I have decided to sell it to fund another purchase.

Case - In remarkable condition, only light marks and a couple of short scratches just above the chrono reset button. I believe all these scratches can be polished out although I have not attempted to do this.

Dial - original and near perfect.

Hands - original and near perfect. The red chrono second hand and painted detail on the hour and minute hands is bright and vivid, just like in the picture.

Strap - Supplied with the original black perforated rally strap with "Heuer" embossed buckle. This strap has seen better days but could actually be restored to usable condition if required. The watch is fitted with a slightly used aftermarket black perforated strap with white stitching.

Bezel - original black insert is still fitted and in in near perfect condition. Some minor wear is visible on the outside edge of the insert but this is one of the best original Autavia bezels I have seen.

No boxes or papers available.

The price is £900 firm and I would prefer a face-face deal in the UK. I will accept paypal if you pay the fees and shipping can be agreed at cost to you.

For more info please email me at watch@managementor.co.uk

Thanks - Simon
