Vintage Heuer Autavia 2446 Jochen Rindt

Description ▲

This Heuer Autavia 2446 "Jochen Rindt" is more than just a watch. Named after the legendary racing driver Jochen Rindt, who wore this model during his races, this iconic piece combines sporty elegance with technical precision and tells a story of speed, courage and style.

The high-contrast 3-register dial in reverse panda design has a perfectly preserved matte black background, while the sub-dials with their authentic patina gracefully bear the marks of time.

The "ghost" bezel, which over time has developed a gray tone that softly shifts to a bluish hue depending on the light, lends the watch a nostalgic charm. The perfectly proportioned 39 mm stainless steel case, with its elegantly beveled lugs, impresses with its great condition.

Inside beats the legendary Valjoux 72 chronograph caliber, renowned for its reliability and precision.

This Rindt Autavia is an iconic piece that breathes the spirit of the 1960s. Its great overall condition, aesthetic perfection and historical significance make it a highly desirable vintage chronograph.
