Hello,

In 1978, HEUER like others Swiss watch brands suffer from the emergence of a new vision of watch with quartz technology.

A lot cheap watches with this "revolutionary" technology multiplies and in this context of « hard Market » the brand HEUER launches range of microsplit (very important timers for motor racing and Ferrari team) and just after the chronograph ChronoSplit. HEUER is always on top with the new technologies

But, in 1978, will come out the last great creation of the brand to my taste the : « VERONA »

VERONA as the other models of the brand is named like a Town : Monaco, Montréal Cortina or Pasadena… and VERONA is a Beautiful Town from italy... is just the perfect name to evoke beauty, class and prestige.

It is a high level watch and it will benefit from caliber 12 and takes all brand codes of quality.

The last great HEUER ?

The verona is typical like other great automatic watch from heuer :

See the left crown and 2 fluted pushers, and more important.....

....Just look this amazing "glossy" black dial release and the perfect polished steel bezel

It is presented in four versions ......

.....but I choose to present one I found the most refined with the référence 110.213 N with the black dial model.
you can see the reference number on the back case.

Details pleasure

The dial has applied markers : silver color on the inside and a small luminescent point overcomes each index.
The hour and minute hands are specific to this model (pure creation) with the same white and silver finish.
The dial has a "réhaut" with tachymeter scale.
There are two counters : 30 minutes at right and 12 hours at left with two white hands more classic

The date is in a window at 6 hours with a silver frame.

Finally, one of the most interesting is the case :
This 38mm case is inspired by the old model of the brand dating from the 40’s -50’s years as can be seen in this documentation.
Modern watch of course but inspired piece from the past....

To conclude, the verona is for me the last great and beautiful model run by Heuer ... a quality that will not find many buyers but my collector joy’s

Complete with original box....

The red carpet to finish

Keep the faith
