Heuer Ref. 349? *LINK*

I have had this early Heuer for some years, and last week when I put on a period NOS vintage pigskin strap, I decided to do some research. Short story is that I found some info in the catalogues at OnTheDash that matches ref. 349.


It has this movement from a 1938 Heuer catalogue, listed as ref. 349.


It has this case pictured in a 1945 catalogue, but not in steel as pictured, mine is made of Nickel with steel case back. Listed as Ref. 349 over the three. Ref. 349 was not pictured, but is most likely the same watch as pictured ref. 333, but with a cheaper Nickel case.

I think it is most likely a Ref 349, dated from somewhere between 1938 and mid 1940's.

Please take a look at my Heuer blog http://classicheuers.blogspot.com/ for more pictures and info.

Thanks
Jarl
