Very nice Autavia array !

The first one which was worn by the great pilot Jo Siffert is certainly one of the most iconic

I also have a crush for the military green,

these later Autavia from the 80s have the chunkiest case,

they are perfect wrist toys for the week-end, the brown bezel is a killing detail to me

Let me add this one to this great Autavia party

no reference known for this one as it is a prototype dial and has never been produced nor advertised by Heuer at the time,

2 samples are kept by Tag Heuer in their HQs at La Chaux de Fonds.

Thank you Nilo for the great photos !

I don't know ...

I know how many watches I took pics and they were around 30-40. Collectors here are very reserved, and they have tons of reasons for this behavior. Based on that I didn't ask how many or if this set was the full set. Cheers, Nilo

I love the subtle variations

I think the red highlights in the second watch shown is my favourite. And I didn't know the derivation of "Autavia", so thanks for the information. Still appreciating this interesting series, Nilo. Regards Andrew

Your friend is not kidding. When he loves, he doesn't count.

I didn't mention any car racer because, for sure, I could forget one. Heuer was The Watch for car racers. Cheers, Nilo
