Specialist note

The present Autavia chronograph is the rare vintage reference 2446 with so-called "Rindt" 3rd execution dial. The model is fitted with an “inverse-panda” dial with plain steel hands and can be found with different bezel indications, incuding minutes, hours, decimal or tachymeter which were thinner than in the earlier executions.

The present chronograph features one of the rarest bezels, the bi-directional rotating variant with tachymeter scale numbered from 60 decimals. It is a rare opportunity for any Heuer aficionado to acquire a very singular Autavia model which hardly appears in public.
