The Heuer brand has long been associated with speed and time. The brand was particularly creative and fruitful in the early 1940s and 1950s, and imagined a number of dial and case configurations for their chronograph timepieces.

The present chronograph is distinguished by its impressive case and beautiful salmon dial. The dial barely shows any sign of aging, and the case remains crisp, having seen little intervention over the years. Most notably, the watch is fitted with a screw down caseback, meaning it was water resistant at the time of manufacture. Such gems hardly appear on the market, no less is such charming condition.
