Heuer - 1960-1969

I would like to inform you that, after a detailed analysis, this specimen closely matches the reference Heuer 408.213, a significantly rarer and more valued professional variant compared to the common models of the Trackmaster line (series 403). The 408 series was designed by Heuer-Leonidas for technical and industrial use, with high decimal precision (scale 0–100, 1/100 of a minute) and a 30-minute recording capacity, produced in smaller quantities and intended for laboratory applications, engineering, and specialized timing.

The set of features — decimal dial, 30-minute sub-register, button configuration, original case, and partially visible numbering — matches the catalog from the time for reference 408.213, making this stopwatch especially attractive to collectors of pre-TAG professional instruments. It is therefore a rarer and more sought-after model than the standard Trackmaster, with greater historical relevance and market value.

This reference appears in Heuer catalogs from the 1970s as a decimal chronograph of 1/100 minute, equipped with a 0–30 minute register and a flyback/reset function via the side button. The set of features fully matches the specimen presented in the lot.
