Autavia, the legendary driver’s chronograph from the 1960s, is making a comeback in 2017. The 2017 Autavia will be presented in a 42mm stainless steel case, which is a little more imposing than the original reference, which measures 39mm. As innovative as the original was, this contemporary model is the result of an interactive campaign called the “Autavia Cup” run in 2016. From a choice of 16 vintage models, more than 50,000 web users voted for a reissue of the Autavia rindt worn by the famous F1 driver Jochen rindt. With the old-school Heuer and Autavia logos at 12 o’clock, and a new Heuer-02 caliber, this iconic model celebrates its 55th anniversary in the form of a stunning neo-retro successor.
