Interesting question!!

Here are four photos, illustrating some choices.

The Heuer standards in this era would have been either the Autavia or the Carrera. Shown below are the three-register models of each. Assume $800 to $1200 for the Autavia, and $1200 to $1500 for the Carrera. If you will settle for two registers -- deleting the hour recorder -- then these prices probably go down by a third [funny how that math works!!].

You should probably consider our Poor Man's Heuers, those made by Heuer for other watch brands. Shown below are a Tradition (sold through Sears, Roebuck) and a Clebar (an independent Swiss brand). These look very similar to the Heuers, and you can have the two-register Tradition for around $200 to $300, and the three-register Clebar in the $500 to $600 range. Anyone eyeing your wrist from a distance will swear that you are wearing a Heuer, and these two look very nice even upon closer inspection.

Check our Poor Man's Gallery for some other brands made by Heuer that you can find at reasonable prices.

Let us know what you decide to pursue.

: I have several Heuer Stopwatches that are of

: What watch would a driver in the late 60s or
: early 70s who enjoyed long distance touring

: With stopwatches rather than a Rallymaster

: Thanks in advance.
