Siffert Autavia -- Three Versions *LINK*
In Response To: Re: heuer autavia white dial ()

Bruce:

YOU WROTE:

  • The very first automatic versions had "CHRONOMATIC" printed above the Heuer crest, manufacture date 1969.
  • The second version had "Autavia" above the crest and polished hands with a thin blue line painted on. These are from 1970-71. Both of these versions would have the silver coloured Caliber 11 movement.
  • The third version has hands similar to those seen on most Monacos (though not early Monacos) except with a blue insert instead of red.

Can you confirm that the Siffert model currently listed on German ebay (linked below) is the THIRD VERSION??

Thanks,

Jeff
