Please read the condition report carefully and refer to the high-resolution pictures to help you assess the overall condition of the watch.
MODEL / REFERENCE: Heuer Autavia chronograph reference 7663C, Inventory number: 250522-1
DIAL+ HANDS: The reverse panda dial features a dual-register chronograph layout, indicating constant running seconds at 9 o’clock and a 45-minute counter at 3 o’clock. The matte surface is virtually flawless with minimal signs of aging. The imprint is immaculately preserved, from the brand’s logo all the way to the chapter ring. The applied markers are associated with a Tritium lume plot that exhibits no degradation and has aged to a charming creamy patina. The polished steel hands are correct and preserve intact lume inlays. The central seconds hand is white and contrasts beautifully with the rest of the dial.
CRYSTAL: The Plexiglass crystal is in very good condition with only some minor hairline scratches.
CASE: The stainless-steel compressor case wears perfectly, measuring a nicely sized 41mm diameter and boasting 48mm from lug to lug. The case’s profile is still faithful to the original, with symmetrical and thick lugs with prominent chamfers. The previously polished surface shows signs of wear, commensurate with age and use of such tool watch. The case is crowned by a sleek rotating bezel, with narrow notches for grip. The clearly marked hours scale on the insert shows light signs of aging. The hour bezel is not usually seen on this reference. After consulting reference information and renowned Vintage Heuer experts, we believe it is original to the watch.
CASEBACK: The stainless steel, snap-on case back is original and comes in honest vintage condition. The previously polished surface shows various scratches throughout. The engravings at the centre and the periphery are still present but mostly faded. The inner side is corrosion free, bearing the period correct nomenclature, including the “Heuer” and “Leonidas” names as well as the case’s material.
MOVEMENT: Workhorse Valjoux 7730, a manually wound two-button, two-register, chronograph movement with a 30-minute recorder. The bridge bears the names “Heuer and Leonidas SA”. The movement has been checked by our watchmaker thus it ticks strong winds, sets, and runs within acceptable range for a vintage timepiece.
CROWN+PUSHERS: The signed crown is correct to the watch, winds and sets time easily. The fluted pump pushers appear to be later replacements but operate as intended.
BRACELET: 20mm Rally style brown leather strap, paired with a signed and newer stainless pin buckle.
ACCESSORIES: Saffiano Leather Watch Roll.
