The Heuer "Champion" is known as one of the "French" Heuer. Despite the brand name, the case was made in France by Monnin and the movement is a manual Vj 7765 without Heuer markings.

This watch was offered as a gift for Heuer spark plug brand clients or sales depsrtment.

Is is very easy to find assembled watches without original hands. I saw many cases on ebay for sale exspecially in Germany.
