With its eye-catching design, which differs from all other vintage Heuer models, the Heuer Cortina captures the hearts of vintage watch lovers.
The highlight of this 50-year-old watch is its black dial, which is in excellent condition, and the warm tritium in the hour indices. In addition to the black Cortina, there is also a version with a white dial. However, the black dial is the more popular of the two due to its striking contrast with the stainless steel case.
The shape of the Cortina case gives it a distinctive look. It is not round and not cushion-shaped, but an octagon with eight sides and eight edges. The next highlight is the integrated stainless steel bracelet, which was specially made for the Heuer Cortina.
The excellent condition, originality, rarity and popularity of the Cortina ensure a high collector's value. But not only that, the Cortina is powered by the reliable automatic caliber 12 movement and is a great pleasure to wear. A truly exceptional vintage timepiece.
