Scan / New Arrival / Autavia Ref 1163 "Orange" ?


Here is my "new arrival", and it's one that I have never seen before -- in a catalog, in a photo or in the metal. It's just like an early Viceroy, only instead of the red on the dial and hands (tips, inserts and chrono second hand), this one is done in orange. Even the small chrono needles have an orange tone to them.

Case is marked "1163", so until I learn more, I'm just calling it Autavia Reference 1163 "Orange" . . . or the "Orange Guy".

It needs a crystal and some luminous on the minute hand, but I think it's a neat looking version of the early Automatic Autavia.

Has anyone ever seen this version?
