Heuer Verona ref 110.213

This is a rare Heuer. The Verona is a more dress type of chronograph. Not as big and colorfull as many of Heuer's more well known chronographs from the 1970's.




The ref. 110.213 is all grey with steel and black hands. I think it's a elegant watch. I bet it will look nice together with a nice suit.
The movement is the famous Heuer calibre 12 Automatic chronograph.
Verona was never sold with bracelet. It was sold with a black leather strap.



The Verona is listed in a 1978 Heuer catalogue.

Pewter PVD ref. 982.013

Grey, but not dull vintage Heuer diver.



This a rare Pewter PVD Heuer diver. I have never seen it in any catalogues. Only known listing is in a German pricelist from 1985.
This one is the normal sized mens watch at 38mm. There is a Pewter fullsize 42mm version as well.



The price in 1985 was 580 DM. This watches come with Tropic 18mm strap or Pewter PVD 18mm Jubelee bracelet with Heuer signed clasp. I wear mine on a Tropic strap or a grey NATO band. I don't have to original bracelet. They are hard to find.



The case back on mine has the great looking Heuer logo engraved. The very first of these Heuer diver had a plain case back. No Heuer logo, just the ref. number stamped in.



The movement is ESA 536.121. This is a thick early quartz movement. Some are signed with the Heuer shield logo, others are not. This is normal. Parts is difficult to find, so try to find a working watch if you are looking for vintage Heuer divers.

Big and chunky Montreal

This is my Heuer Montreal Ref 110.503 W (White). It's probably Heuers biggest watch. It's thick and heavy, and I love it. The white Montreal is the rarest one and is quite popular among collectors.



The Montreal was available in seven versions powered by the Caliber 12 movement:

- stainless steel, blue dial with white registers (applied markers);
- stainless steel, black dial with white registers (applied markers);
- stainless steel, white dial with black registers (applied markers);
- gold-plated case with champagne dial and registers (applied markers);
- stainless steel, blue dial with blue registers (painted markers);
- stainless steel, black dial with black registers (painted markers); and
- black (PVD) case with black dial and black registers (painted markers)



I was lucky to find a NOS two piece NSA bracelet with a Heuer signed buckle.






Four Montreals in a 1972 Heuer catalogue.

One for the ladies ref. 756

Once again I write about a very rare diver. This is the ref. 756 ladies automatic diver. This is the very first serial production diver from Heuer along with the French made ref. 844. It's a tiny little watch at just 28mm. This first edition ladies diver had a very cool black and red bezel, and the dial is printed "Ebauche Suisse" at the bottom. The later ref. 756 has an all black bezel and "Swiss Made" on the dial.



She was "cover girl" on the 1979 Heuer catalogue together with the ref. 844.



The automatic movement is not signed Heuer. I have not managed to identify the maker. The original strap is a 14mm Tropic strap with a original Heuer 12mm buckle. Very cool and rare combination.







Another scan from the 1979 catalogue.

These small automatic ladies divers are very rare. This is the only one I have seen in the six years I have been collecting Heuers. I have seen a few of the later black bezel Heuer / Tag Heuer version, but only this one of the first edition.

A classic beauty

This is the most beautyful little Heuer I have owned. It's just 33mm and is powerd by a nice Valjoux 23. The bezel is rose gold with matching crown and pushers.




The bridge is signed Ed. Heuer & Co and the Heuer logo shield. This movement is in very nice condition. Not bad for a watch from the 1940s.

Snap on case back is signed Ed. Heuer & Co and with the Heuer logo.

A nice classic Heuer that have moved to a new home. It did not get the wrist time it deserved due to it's small size. So I sold it to get a bigger Heuer... I almost regret it when I look at the pictures, it's just so nice looking.

Very rare Heuer diver

The Ref. 980.004 / 1

This is the rare Heuer ref. 980.004/1. With original full length bracelet. This bracelet was not signed on clasp. A large 40mm rarely seen Heuer.

It's from the 1980's and have the new slimmer ETA 955.114 movement. The same movement used in the updated TagHeuer 1000 diver series with a N behind the referance number.

I like the black Date/Day window, that's a nice detail.

It was shown in the 1982 Heuer diver watch catalogue. My watch moved to a new owner as I found the design a little to simple.

German watchmaker Sinn made their own version with an automtic movement.

Tag Heuer 989.113N

This is the watch that started my interest for Heuer and Tag Heuer. I found this watch in a pawn shop in Belfast in Northern Ireland while I was there on a assignment as a photojournalist back in 2005. A deal was made and I never looked back. I quickly moved from Tag Heuers to vintage Heuer so this diver is no longer a part of my collection. I often regret selling it, I is a very nice diver in a all grey design.

The ref.number is 989.113N. The "N" indicates that this is a watch made after the merge with Tag in 1986 and that the movement is a ETA 955.112. This movement is much slimmer than the earlier ETA/ESA quartz movements used in the Heuer diver watches. The case back on this Tag is much lower in profile.

Great luminous face and black hands.

Original jubilee bracelet with Tag Heuer signed clasp.

These Tag Heuer / Heuer 1000 diver watches is great value for money. I highly recommend one if you are looking for a daily beater.
