Re: Heuer-Champion Spark Plugs 1979 Chronograph

The Heuer "Champion" is known as one of the "French" Heuer. Despite the brand name, the case was made in France by Monnin and the movement is a manual Vj 7765 without Heuer markings.

This watch was offered as a gift for Heuer spark plug brand clients or sales depsrtment.

Is is very easy to find assembled watches without original hands. I saw many cases on ebay for sale exspecially in Germany.
