Notes

Full photography to follow: Our rare Heuer chronograph reference 1614 features a 38mm tonneau case and fume dial. Known as the French Heuer, the case was manufactured by Monnin and cosigned Heuer-Leonidas/ G. Monnin. This particular example has a dual signed dial Heuer / Champion as we understand a very limited quantity were made for Champion spark plugs to be gifted within distribution and sales for high performers. Reference 1614 features a Valjoux 7765 (unsigned) manual winding movement with quick set date. The dial shows Made in France at 6pm. The overall condition is outstanding, with only light signs of use. A new generic black leather strap is fitted. Neither box nor papers are present, we date manufacture to c.1978. A presentation pouch will be included at point of sale. This really is a superb and very rare chrono and ideal for a motoring themed collection.
