Heuer "Autavia", Case No. 111626, Ref. 7763C, Cal. Val 7730, 40 mm, circa 1967
A "cult" wristwatch with chronograph, rotating bezel with hour marking and compressor case. The 7763C is the first generation Autavia with two registers
Case: steel, "compressor" snap back with engraving. Dial: black, silver-coloured and engine-turned subsidiary registers, baton hands with luminous tritium material.
Only a very small number of the Heuer Autavia reference 7763C with black dial and two light registers was produced, making it a rare and highly sought after collector’s chronograph watch.
The C designation after the reference 7763 stands for "compressor" and refers to the snap-back construction holding the case back in place with a large C clip. It is sealed with a large rubber ring. The bezel of reference 7763 is wider than that of the earlier Autavias and has lateral groups of
"teeth". The model is available in different version - with hour indication, combined minute and hour indication and with tachymeter scale.
