1970's Heuer Autavia Chronograph 11063V 'Viceroy'

The watch that we have here is a fantastic, well-rounded example. It comes to us with an unpolished case, featuring clear, defined factory finishing throughout and normal wear from age and use. It retains its correct 'fluted' pushers and signed crown at the 9 o'clock position, as well as the correct bezel assembly with a black aluminum timing insert. Inside, the matte black 'reverse-panda' dial remains in superb condition, seemingly free of any blemishes or wear, and retains fully-intact Tritium plots — all of which show a light, even patina. The handset matched nicely and compliments the red accents on the dial beautifully. Powering this piece is a legendary Calibre 12 automatic-winding chronograph movement with a date at the 6 o'clock position.

Viceroy would offer a special version of the Autavia automatic chronograph for $88 with the end flap from a carton of Viceroy cigarettes. At this time Heuer was producing two versions of the Autavia, one with a black dial and minute/hour bezel (Reference 1163 MH) and one with a white dial and tachymeter bezel (Reference 1163 T). Both models were priced at $200.
