In 1967 Heuer developed this almost completely black chronograph especially for the pilots of the German Bundeswehr. The so-called "Bundeswehr-Chronograph" was built according to military specifications and is extremely easy to read and to use. There are countless variations with numerous fine details and there are also the versions that were produced by Sinn.
