You are correct, Jeff! Our Autavias look to me even more compelling now....It is stunning to see, decades later, how Heuer designer were conceding close to nothing to fancy forms and fashionable colors (always very well marketable!). Similar to the process of a rigorous architectural project of those years, design choices of these tool watches were leaning heavily toward functions and specific practical needs, such as racing requirements in this case...and it must be for this reason that I appreciate them so much!

What a Sunday afternoon...
