Heuer Autavia Reference Time Line

The Autavia name was an amalgamation of the words Automobile and Aviation which were the two main sectors Heuer tried to market itself to sell chronographs in the 1960s. Originally the name was used for a dash timer in the 1930s however for Heuers first named chronograph series it was revived in 1962, and again in 2017 for the Re-Edition Rindt. The watch featured a 39mm case initially, rising to 42mm in the 1970s, and was more sports orientated than the Carrera and the Monaco.


The Autavia was worn by superstar Formula One drivers of their day such as, Jochen Rindt, Jo Siffert, Giles Villeneuve, Mario Andretti, Derek Bell and many others, its motorsport pedigree more than any other chronograph is without equal. The vintage Heuer Autavia ran from 1962 until 1985. Initially using the screw-back case for the Autavia 2446 / 3646, with the Valjoux 72/92 for the majority of the 1960s, then latterly the compressor case for the late 60s and early 70s. In 1969 the first automatic chronographs appeared using a cushion style case allied to the new calibre 11/12/14/15 movements which ran until Heuers demise in 1985.
