Lot Description
HEUER - a base metal manual wind dash mounted early Monte Carlo twelve hour stop watch, circa 1960, the black dial with Arabic five minute divisions and aperture for twelve hour recording at six o'clock, with bi-directional bezel, case numbered around from the 50 marker, fitted with three buttons governing start/stop and winding, reset and hour disk advance, case is attached to a steel mounting plate stamped ED. HEUER & CO above SWISS. Case diameter 56mm. Together with authentic box.
The three button Monte Carlo was introduced in the late 1950's to replace the Autavia and is the earliest model of the range. The first pusher advances the hour jumping dial, the crown facilitates winding and when depressed governs the start and stop functions, and the last activates the fly back reset.
