: WRIST ICONS brings you a puuuurfect 👌military Heuer Autavia
: reference 73663 with Arabic radial dial for the Kenyan Air Force
: (KAF) also known as the “Shauntavia”. This is a very nice
: looking special military Heuer. This one is soo ri-di-cu-lous-ly
: good looking that I would immediately 🗣sign in for service!
: 👨‍✈️ All the Autavias to ever come with numerals
: instead of applied indexes have a military past. Two were
: adopted by the German army (73633 BUNDESWEHR) and the well-known
: 1550 SG often seen with the 3H dial. And the two others by
: Kenya's Air Force. The KAF Autavia most seen is reference 741603
: which is a two-register chronograph, with a date at 6 o'clock
: and red accents on the hands and dial. The second KAF Heuer what
: we have here is the three register manual wound Autavia with the
: beloved orange accents reminiscent of the famous Orange Boy.

: Both references have elongated Arabic numerals. They were made for
: the Kenyan Air Force this may have been a special military
: specification for increased legibility in the dark. According to
: Alexandre Gothbi of Phillips these watches were produced in very
: small numbers, it is believed that no more than 250 examples
: were ever delivered with a small portion that were not issued.
: Further we have read on the internet, that Heuer does not take
: ownership of these watches, with no references in their database
: so they won't confirm how many or for how long they were made.

: Reference 73663 was introduced in the early 1970s, with a
: three-register dial layout as the originals from the 1960s. The
: dials were in 3 versions, a panda, reverse panda and all black.
: This particular 73663 Shauntavia has the reverse panda lay out.

: These watches are nicknamed “Shauntavia” named after the
: collector Shaun Wainstein who first published an article about
: these watches on the Heuer forum called onthedash. Jeff, the
: forum’s founder then named these watches Shauntavias.
