Heuer - 1970-1979

Overview
A highly distinctive vintage HEUER Swiss mechanical professional stopwatch, dating from approximately the early 1980s. It features a purposeful black instrument-style case, a striking high-contrast black and white dial, and multiple centrally mounted timing hands in yellow, orange and white.
With its substantial approximately 62 mm diameter, bold 60-second scale and highly visible colour-coded hands, the stopwatch has the unmistakable appearance of a professional timing instrument. Comparable HEUER Ref. 758.901 examples from this period are documented as manually wound mechanical stopwatches with fine timing capability and a 60-minute totalising function.
