Weekend Heuer. Part 10/? - Autavia
Team,
This week brings us to, IMHO, the most charming model of the Heuer line, the Autavia.
The Autavia line started in 1933 with a dashboard timer and the name "Autavia" indicates that is for Automobile and Aviation.
As a wristwatch chronograph, this line started in 1962 and ended in 1986. As Tag Heuer there was a reissue in 2003.
Enough talk, lets go for the pics (not in any particular order):
(I believe that the insert of this one is not original)
A great weekend to all and next week I will post "the other Heuers" in order to wrap up this series,
Nilo

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.
Impressive. Really. Thanks for the share, my friend, and thanks to him, too. Best, Nicolas
Terrific post
Each watch I like a lot. Thank you for the excellent photos you are sharing. Best wishes, Joel
Very nice Autavia array !
The first one which was worn by the great pilot Jo Siffert is certainly one of the most iconic credit : GVM 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,...
Thank you ...
I didn't mention any car racer because, for sure, I could forget one. Heuer was The Watch for car racers. Cheers, Nilo
