Heuer Autavia 2446C

Description

I’m not sure this watch needs any introduction. The Heuer Autavia line is maybe one of, if not THE hottest vintage watches on the planet. I’m not going to waste your time giving you a breakdown of WHY this line is so amazing, popular, and important. If you are looking at this, you probably already know why.

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

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.

Prices on these are rising, seemingly by the day. What’s more, getting your hands on a good, clean example is becoming difficult. This is a great example for the beginner and advanced Heuer collector.
