Re: What's an Autavia? The namesake, I mean...
In Response To: What's an Autavia? The namesake, I mean... ()

: Almost all the other names in the Heuer line
: are reasonably straightforward, especially
: to a racing fan. Monaco, Carrera, Monza,
: Montreal, Daytona, Camaro, Sliverstone,
: Jarama.

: But what's an Autavia?
: An how do we pronounce it.

: Aw-TAY-vee-a (rhymes with SAY)
: Aw-TOV-vee-a (rhymes with Mazel TOV)

: Enquiring minds wanna know.
: best
: Allen

To me, its:

AWT- (as it AUTo) Avia (as in AVIAtion)...so your first option

Cheers
