Yes it's in the 72 Catalogue & Viceroy advert.

Ron,

In the '72 catalogue on OTD.. the orange bits look red, likely from bad printing - the Calculator next to it looks red too..

Also, if you look at the Viceroy magazine advert, with the driver smoking & his wrist in view, he is actually wearing an Orange Boy!

: Hi All,

: Who knows whether the Autavia Orange Boy, Gulf version has ever
: appeared in a Heuer brochure. I have checked the catalogues on
: OTD but so not seem to be able to find it . Does anyone know?
: And , when was it introduced and what were the approximate sales
: numbers?? Or was it maybe special edition based on a certain
: event? Lots of questions , I know. Perhaps somebody knows
: though. My questions are triggered by the special hands with
: orange inlay which have never returned on other Heuers as far as
: I can see.

: Tnanks, cheers and happy days until new year's eve!
: Ron
