Rainbow or shield
In Response To: Question about heuer autavia 7863 Dato chronograph... ()

Hi Rob,

I only know two different case back engravings. One is the Heuer logo that you are referring to. The other one has a rainbow like engraving on the edge of the case back.

I had a 7863C for a while and it has the logo engraved. IMO it depends on the time of production. Earlier compressor Autavias had the shield and the later ones the rainbow.

Best,
Manuel
