NEW ARRIVAL !! AUTAVIA 2446H BIG SUBS Arabic DIAL, 1963

Hi Heuer Lovers....

just wanted to show what stunning Autavia 2446H "Big Subs" with a great story came in ClassicHeuers Stock.

"A long year service customer of our repair department has just sold us his first owned Heuer Autavia 2446 H. He received this rare Chrono as a Study-beginner, at age 18, in 1963, given as a gift -- NEW -- from his father!!! His father bought the watch from a German Heuer Stopwatch specialized dealer who supplied the industry in north-rhine-westfalia with dezimal Stopwatches for "Refa-zeit-messung" labour-industrial timing of Staff in working processes in the 60-ties in Germany !! The dealer had this new Chronograph in his Stock from Heuer to show around in the factories to maybe interested bosses."
