Heuer Ref. 11063V
Manufacturer: Heuer Year: Circa 1984 Reference No: 11063V Model Name: Skipper Material: Stainless steel Calibre: Automatic, 12 Bracelet/Strap: Stainless steel Heuer bracelet, 205 mm. maximum length Clasp/Buckle: Stainless steel Heuer folding twinlock deployant clasp Dimensions: 41 mm. diameter Signed: Case, dial and movement signed Literature: For another example of a reference 11063, please see Heuer Autavia Chronographs 1962-1985 by Richard Crosthwaite and Paul Gavin, page 173. Catalogue Essay Heuer has created some of the most exceptional and creative chronograph wristwatches in the world of horology. Its roots trace back to the firm’s creation in 1860, when an ambitious and passionate young man, Edouard Heuer, founded Uhrenmanufaktur Heuer AG in St-Imier, Switzerland. The world of Heuer is closely connected with “stopping time”. Its watches are used in automobile races, to boxing matches and even yacht races. The firm’s strength lies in its sheer range of models. From early dashboard timepieces, to stopwatches and complicated triple calendar chronograph models, Heuer has created countless instruments for any occasion and every need. Its most famous model is undoubtedly the Autavia. Its name a portmanteau of “Auto and Aviation”, the Autavia is a technical auto racing watch in every sense. It was originally envisioned as a dashboard time piece, designed for absolute legibility, with the numerals and registers rendered in contrasting colors. Tag Heuer today continually digs, and seeks inspiration from its archives for their new creations. The firm most notably launched an Autavia in 2017, directly taking the design codes from the reference 2446 with 3rd execution dial. A "customer-designed" watch, the model was originally designed in 1966 and famously donned by Formula 1 champion Jochen Rindt. The original version is illustrated in the following pages, further adding to the appeal of the vintage wristwatch. We are incredibly pleased to present a range of Heuer wristwatches, which give only a glimpse into the range and depth of the firm’s ability to create a wide range of chronograph watches. Consigned by a highly important collector, this Heuer Skipper was made for yacht racing. The Skipper was made to time the start of yacht races and has an unusual register finished in white, blue and red and divided into sessions that are calibrated to time 5 minute intervals. This is one of the last editions of the Skipper. The case is stunning and in outstanding condition with original brush finishes, sharp edges and a beautiful gloss dial. Read More
