Eric's Pick
The Autavia wristwatch was launched in 1962 by Heuer. This model was in production for over 20 years and came in many variations. The Autavia was designed for automotive and aviation activities, hence the name "Autavia". This particular example features a black dial with white registers, rotating bezel, and large snap back "Compressor" case, hence the reference number given to this watch ending in C. Vintage Heuer chronographs like the present example are in high demand by collectors. The present watch is preserved in charismatic, unpolished condition with a special engraving on the case back: "NUMBER 1 DAD".
