Specialist note

Heuer introduced its tide indication chronographs beginning in the 1950s, marketed under the names "Mareographe" and "Seafarer". Around 1970, Heuer began producing Solunagraph chronographs for Orvis, a retailer of fishing equipment. The present example offers an attractive dark grey dial which compliments the blue and white subsidiary dials, set within a well-preserved steel case.
