My Estimate: First Half of 1970
In Response To: Need help dating an Autavia ()

My estimate would place this one in the first half of 1970, making it a fairly early version. I do not have many serial numbers in this range, and nothing definitive, but that is my best guess.

What can you tell us about this one: which style of hands? which numerals on the hour recorder?

I expect that this would be an early version of the Siffert.
