Heuer - Temporada - Men - 1970-1979

Heuer Temporada – Mechanical chronograph – Vintage from the 60s/70s – Pre-TAG
A vintage Heuer “Temporada” chronograph is offered, an authentic pre-TAG Heuer piece, produced between the late 60s and early 70s. This model was originally aimed at the Latin American market, which makes it an uncommon variant and especially appreciated by collectors.
The watch features an original cream-tone bicompax dial, with burgundy subdials, a very attractive color combination that is representative of the era. The dial shows natural, uniform patina, with no signs of repainting, preserving its full authenticity. The inscription “Temporada” reinforces the historical and unique character of this reference within the Heuer catalog.
The stainless steel case retains the wear typical of an authentic vintage watch, with marks and signs of use consistent with its age, without aggressive restorations. A particularly notable element is that the watch retains its original bakelite back (period synthetic material), used by Heuer on certain sport chronographs for reasons of lightness and thermal insulation. This technical detail is increasingly difficult to find intact and adds significant collectible value.
The watch is equipped with a manual-wind Swiss mechanical chronograph movement, which runs correctly, with a functioning chronograph (start, stop, and reset).
