Ben, I believe all 'black' subdial hands on these cushion cased Autavias are actually 'blued'. Even the example you posted, you can see the blueing.
I haven't checked all the models.. but I can't see Heuer using black paint instead of 'bluing to an almost black'

: Are the subdial hands originally blue?
