hi Chuck,
first, sorry to write you directly but I dont know how to put pic on forum.
I am very interesting in this watch and I've got the change to buy it, please could you tell me if it is original? I have some doubts about bezel although I've seen this model with white dial.
Interestingly enough the MOAT bears out Juanjo's research:

Those are all of the 11630's in the Autavia table, I've highlighted the Black/Black in bold text, and you'll notice there isn't a Tachy bezel on the "original" list.
model number between lugs is 11630 and reference number 302464. caliber (I've seen it) is 12, signed heuer. mineral crystal. crown signed.... I would recommend looking through the on-line catalogs for the years located in the table to see if you can eyeball an example.
If anyone else has some insight I'm sure Juanjo would appreciate it, as would I...
thank you in advance and sorry for bother you. No bother... Just a wee bit of work...
