Original Description:
In 1962 Heuer launched the Autavia chronograph, designed for automotive and aviation events. Produced for more than twenty years, the model went through a number of versions, including transitioning from a manual-wind movement to an automatic movement in 1969. This wide range of styles is part of what makes Heuer so appealing to watch collectors – there is an Autavia for everyone.Jo "Seppi" Siffert was a Swiss racing driver who was the last genuine privateer to win a Formula 1 Gr...and Prix when he won the 1968 British Grand Prix for Rob Walker Racing Team with a Lotus.  That same year Siffert won the 24 Hours of Daytona and the 12 Hours at Sebring in a Porsche 907.  After winning the 1971 Austrian Grand Prix,  he was killed at the 1st World Championship  Victory race, on the same track as his first Formula 1 victory at Brands hatch.  Jo Siffert had developed a friendship with Heuer CEO and racing enthusiast Jack Heuer who fitted him with an early Heuer automatic Autavia with a white dial and blue accent.  Heuer was also sponsoring Siffert on the track. The Autavia Chrono-matic date with these specific colors was the first to be introduced to the public in March 1969.This specific example is the rare Mark 2 dial with serrated hour markers, a larger Heuer logo than the Mark 1 and a flat V in "Autavia". It is a very rare version. Watch is in running condition. Serial#143XXX circa 1969. Time and date set as they should. Acrylic crystal is clear. Dial and hands are in excellent condition. Dial show a minor scratch above "automatic" otherwise in excellent condition. All Chronograph functions work as they should and resets to 12 o'clock position. Click Bezel is in excellent condition and rotates properly. Case shows scratches as expected for age and appears to have been polished at some point. Please note, time accuracy or waterproofing is not guaranteed. Service history is unknown. Please refer to pictures and let me know if you have any questions.
