Description
CASE & BACK: This watch measures a large 39 x 47mm not including crown and is 14mm to the top of the crystal. The heavy all-steel case does show its original bevels and finish. There are very few scratches and some nicks commensurate with a very lightly worn 50-year-old tool watch — Fantastic vintage condition overall. The outer part of the screwed steel back has some very light and superficial scratches but shows its original Heuer nomenclature of the period. Case shows the 59xxx serial number between the lugs, Excellent original cosmetic condition. The inner caseback shows no corrosion and has the correct internal Heuer engraving of the era.
BEZEL: The Stainless steel rotating bezel is correct and original and in Very Good condition .The bezel itself rotates with good tension in both directions as designed.
DIAL & HANDS: Mint matte black dial with white printing and finely calibrated track and no imperfections visible under a loupe . Fantastic lume dots all original in tritium. Hands are original tritium hands as well
CROWN & PUSHERS: crown looks very clean and winds and pulls out to the time-setting position as it should. It sits tightly against the case. and both chrono pushers work as they should and also nice and crisply.
CRYSTAL: Large acrylic crystal is Excellent+ without scratches and no deep marks and sits barely proud of the bezel, which I believe to be correct for this model.
MOVEMENT: Legendary Valjoux 92 chronograph movement is looking bright and working well with all correct Heuer nomenclature of the era and shock protection.
