This
is the ultimate Heuer for races and rallies -- the
Rally-Master pair, consisting of a Master Time
(8-day clock) and a Monte Carlo (12-hour
stopwatch). The Rally-Master pairs were introduced
in 1958; this pair is a later version, introduced
in 1967. This is a beautifully matched pair, with
the dials and hands matching almost perfectly. The
pair comes on an genuine Heuer back-plate, marked
Heuer-Leonidas.

This
version of the Master Time has numerals 1 through
12 on the dial. This Master Time is an excellent
runner -- over the course of one week, it kept time
within 8 seconds per day. The hacking and setting
mechanisms work properly. There are minor scuffs on
the plastic crystals, but the dials are near mint,
among the very best that I have seen.
|
This
is the "decimal minutes" version of the Monte
Carlo, preferred by racers and rally navigators.
The hour disc is excellent; the start / stop /
reset functions work properly. Best of all, this is
the most accurate Monte Carlo that I have ever
seen or heard of. In one week, it was accurate to
within two seconds for the entire week.
|
The
later version of the Master Time was powered by the
Arogno 28 (single-barrel) movement. These are more
reliable than the earlier two-barrel movements.
This one runs strong and is a great
time-keeper.
|
The
Monte Carlo is powered by the Valjoux 7714
movement. This one is super clean, and is an
absolutely amazing time-keeper.

It's
been a long time since we saw such a nice
Rally-Master pair offfered on ebay. Prices have
risen strongly over the last year, and the correct
pairs (Master Time and Monte Carlo) are
disappearing quickly. You will not find a better
looking pair; you certainly will not find a better
running pair . . . put this one on the dashboard of
your vintage racer, display it on your desk or
store it in the vault as an investment . . . values
are climbing on the very best dashboard timers, and
you won't find a nicer pair than this
one.
