AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Collection Stopwatch: HEUER "SAVIC" Ref. 918 Dec. – Swiss Made (Vintage, Circa 1970)
Exceptional and sought-after original pocket mechanical chronometer from the prestigious Swiss firm HEUER (pre-TAG Heuer era).
A high-end precision instrument designed specifically for sports timing on circuits, classic rally regularity events, or automobilia competitions.
This magnificent lot stands out for including its original factory box and preserving a highly valuable technical mechanical feature for vintage watch collectors of the brand:
-- Specifications and Technical Details:
-- Model and Reference:
HEUER SAVIC "Fab. Suisse - Shockresistant". Original reference Ref. 918 Dec. stamped on the side of the factory box.
-- Dial / High Visibility Dial:
Impeccable white dial with a 60-second outer scale, black Arabic numerals every 5 units, and subdivision marks. It has a central registration subdial for minutes (up to 30 minutes) with a dedicated black hand.
-- Historical Innovation (Lateral Reset Button):
This model features the great technical novelty for its era of incorporating a lateral independent push button to the 2 (beside the main crown). While the upper crown winds, starts and stops, this side button allows updating or instantly resetting the chronometer to zero quickly, a revolutionary and highly useful function in pits during competitions to chain times without losing fractions of a second.
-- Case and Caseback:
Robust stainless steel chrome-plated case in excellent condition.
The reverse retains its original circular sticker from the era with the inscription "REF. S.A.V.I.C. HEUER", an authenticity detail extraordinarily difficult to preserve.
-- Complete Set contents (Full Set):
The lot is presented very complete and includes all accessories seen in the real images:
-- Original HEUER cardboard box:
In its iconic bright red color with the chronometer illustration and the side label indicating Ref. 918 Dec. / Made in Switzerland.
-- Original carrying cord:
Braided off-white textile cord with metal hooks for hanging around the neck (race marshal or race director style).
-- Promotional/Display Material:
Accompanied by two vintage graphic sheets/stickers with the classic Heuer Timers and Chronographs logos and checkered racing flags for spectacular display in a glass cabinet.
-- Condition:
The chronometer is in exceptional vintage condition, strictly collectible. The Swiss movement winds perfectly, the central hand moves smoothly, and the lateral reset button functions with total precision and firmness. The crystal and the chrome-plated case show no notable scratches or significant wear. The red cardboard box shows a charming patina of aging at its corners while maintaining its structural integrity.
The numerous real images are an integral part of the lot description to certify provenance, reference marks, and mechanical functioning state.
Bid with complete confidence on an indispensable piece from Heuer's golden era of racing.
