1984 Heuer Autavia 11063V Cal. 12

[luxuwrist]

The automatic Heuer Autavias had quite the run, spanning two decades with numerous now classic variants from F1 sponsorships to special diving and military variants. The model evolved mechanically with the switch from the caliber 11 to the caliber 12, in materials by moving from acrylic to glass crystals, and stylistically with various dial, bezel, and case design and construction.

What we have here is the last variant of the Cal. 12 Autavias, the 11063V. The 11063 is unique in the range with a larger case design with a slightly larger lug width and deeper angles to the lugs. The bezel design has larger and thicker fluted edges, and is the first Autavia to have a unidirectional bezel.

This 11063V is a very nice example of a classic sporty tool watch that's ready to take just about anything you can throw at it, and it's entirely original except for a newly fitted crystal and gasket.
