: These are definitely smaller than the Pasadena.
: Speaking of the Pasadena, looking at these watches made me wonder
: why Heuer waited so long to offer this style of case. Heuer went
: all the way through the 1970s, with the Montreal, Calculator,
: Silverstone, Daytona, etc., and only arrived at the Pasadena in
: 1979. Of course, we all know of the failed attempt to put the
: PVD on a Monaco; Heuer also tried PVD on the barrel-shaped
: Carrera (1974), the Monza (1977), etc., but it seems that Heuer
: waited a long time to use the "military" style case.

Interesting. I believe the Ref. 12 was also a PVD case, correct? I know there are very different watches, but what came first the Pasadena or the Ref. 12?
