Heuer Autavia Serial Numbers
Reading the history of Heuer as it is usually written today, it’s easy to get the impression that the Carrera was the series that really established the brand’s credentials as the leading maker of racing-inspired chronographs. And while the Carrera was certainly important, it was in fact another model that had the real sporting heritage and authenticity- the Heuer Autavia. Taking its name from a combination of its target markets (“ AUTomotive- AVIAtion”), the Autavia wristwatch was unveiled in 1962 and was the first new model launched under the guidance of the company’s then-new CEO, Jack Heuer.

It was the first watch to be fitted with Heuer’s Chronomatic Calibre 11/ 12 movement and the last. While the Carrera began its life as a wristwatch, the original Autavia was actually a timing instrument, specifically a a dashboard timer for rally cars, as Jack Heuer explained in his autobiography. Heuer Autavia 11630T by HeuerTime Perhaps the most iconic bezel given its direct link to motor racing.
The tachymeter bezel is a logarithmic scale that measures units per time increment. For example, to measure average kilometres per hour in a traffic light drag race (ahem) you start the chronograph when you take off and then stop the chrono once you have travelled one kilometre.
Reading the units on the tachy bezel will tell you your average speed in km/h over that trip. If the roads were clear and you wanted to time yourself over a second kilometer, you’d simply hand your Autavia to your passenger and at the one kilometer mark keep the chronograph running but note the elapsed time and then rotate the bezel until the silver triangle points to that time. Stop the chronograph after 2 kms and read the time off the scale that the chronograph hand is pointing to. It’s a brilliantly flexible scale, because it doesn’t matter if you want to measure in miles or kilometers- the tachymeter can handle both. In Autavia reference numbers, a watch with a tachy scale is indicated by “T”- for example, 1163T.
As part of their new “Heuer Parade” auction on November 11, Phillips is giving the very latest example of a new Autavia innovated to celebrate Jack Heuer’s 85th.

This scale goes from 0-60 and is used to keep track of how long you have been underwater. Note that the first 15 minutes are shown in minute increments to aid with calculating decompression timing and then in 5-minute increments through to 60 minutes. To use this function, you simply line up the silver triangle with the minute hand when you enter the water and then read your elapsed dive time from the bezel scale. Heuer Autavia 11630 GMT/ Black Sub-dials by HeuerTime The Heuer Autavia uses a dedicated bright yellow GMT hand as seen above. Unlike some GMT watches, this one can’t be moved by rotating the crown, and on the scale above indicated time on a 24 hour scale. For example, on the watch above it’s 7:43. The GMT hand indicates the same hour, as it progresses from the “19h00” mark towards “20h00” mark- just as the hour hand is progressing towards 8 o’clock.
