Heuer, Swiss, "Autavia Automatic Chronograph", Case No. 291343, Ref. 11630, Cal. 12, 42 x 48 mm, circa 1972
A rare vintage automatic wrist chronograph with date, so called "Orange Boy White" - with Heuer box
Case: steel, screw back, crown on the left, bidirectional rotating tachy bezel, Heuer steel bracelet, bracelet length 145 mm, total length 185 mm. Dial: brushed silver finish.
The most distinctive feature of the Heuer Autavia Orange Boy White is the attractive colouring, which gave the watch its familiar name: The dial proudly flounts a number of orange-coloured highlights such as the hands, the 5-minute "racing stripes" in the 30-minute counter and the applied hour markers, which all stand out clearly from the polished silver ground. The white "Orange Boy" is very rare, while the black dial version is more common.
