Guide to This Reference Table. The following are some of the conventions used in this Reference Table:
What's Included; What's Not Included. This Reference Table includes all the Autavias that were produced from 1962 through 1985. This Reference Table does not include other chronographs that Heuer produced using the Autavia case (for example, various versions of the Skipper and the Abercrombie & Fitch Seafarer, both of which used Autavia cases). We point out that there may have been other versions of Autavias available by special order (for example, versions with speical bezels). We have not included the so-called "Poor Man's" Autavias, the chronographs that Heuer manufactured for other brands (for example, Zodiac and Bulova), which may be identical to the Heuer Autavias (other than the name on the dial and movement). Please Help Us Build this Autavia Reference Table. This expanded and updated Autavia Reference Table is being released on December 3, 2011, and is very much a work in progress. We would enthusiastically welcome your contributions and comments. The following will be especially helpful:
History / Thanks. Our first Autavia Reference Table was published in May 2003, based on information provided by Hans Schrag, Bruce Mackie, and the late Chuck Maddox. This first Autavia Reference Table included 46 versions of the Autavia, and was the first Reference Table published by OnTheDash. Eight years later, we have a vibrant community of enthusiasts who collect the vintage Heuers, with a rich exchange of information about all aspects of these watches. Many members of the OnTheDash / Chronocentric Heuer Discussion Forum community have made valuable contributions to this 2011 update of the Autavia Reference Table, by contributing photos and sharing information. Special thanks to Paolo Bernardi, Peter Møller and Mark Moss who made exceptional contributions to the update of this Autavia Reference Table. Jeffrey M.

Overview of the First Automatic Autavias, Reference 1163 and 1563. Heuer designed entirely new cases for the three models of automatic chronograph that it introduced, in 1969, the Autavia, Carrera and Monaco. These cases measure TBD, across the face of the watch (not including the crown), and have a thickness of TBD mm, from the back of the case to the top surface of the bezel. Crystals are plastic. The Caliber 15 models were introduced in 1972, using the same case as the 1163 models. Dials and Hands Used in Automatic Autavias -- Reference 1163 and 1563, described in Section E:

Bezels are bi-directional. |
