Heuer Autavia Ref. 2446C

Description

The Heuer Autavia line is maybe one of, if not THE hottest vintage watches on the planet. Adorned by collectors, the Autavia is the “it” Heuer to own. This example is a Reference 2446C, which denotes a “compressor” case.

However, for inquiring minds, some great write-ups can be found here:

And as always, a wealth of Heuer knowledge over at the amazing, Calibre 11 and OnTheDash

The present example was also used as a reference image for 2446Cs and can be seen here.

This example is a 4th execution snap-back (Mk4) and is in great vintage condition. The dial is near-mint, and features the less common red chrono hand and red indices within the chapter ring. The bezel, which is often scratched up on these watches, is in mint condition. The case features thick and even lugs, with one dent in the bottom, left lug.
