Aero-Graphic Autavia / 10.5 Years Later . . .

Back in December 2009, we were trying to unravel the mystery of the "Aero-Graphic" on the dial of an Autavia.

Now, in June 2020, we see another Aero-Graphic Autavia posted on Instagram -- https://www.instagram.com/p/CBZ3WzhH-EB/?igshid=12ehym0vc9yz3

I'll do some further searching, but I'm not sure we ever found anything definitive.

: Hi Huxtable,

: A few months ago the same seller offered a comparable dial for the
: Autavia 2446, however a version in silverburst ( like Carrera)
: with black subdials ( no additional text though like your's ). I
: hesitated whether I should buy both. Finally I only bought the
: "SN"version.I received it and it has all the
: properties of assuming it being authentic. I was ever so lucky
: when David Devos sent in a photo of his friends' Autavia with
: exactly the same SN dial one week later !

: I contacted TAG Heuer on your's as well though then and I was told
: it may have been a sample from a small batch of watches which
: was custom made for a specific client. A pilot's academy maybe
: or a association of aerial chartmakers or photographers. They
: were not sure though. Too far back for the people who are in the
: service dpt now.

: Hope this helps.

: Ron
