Formed in 1955 and remained until the 1990’s, the Bundeswehr was regarded as one of the most ordered and well-equipped armies of its time, even though they never participated in any combat. Made for the Bundeswehr, the Heuer ref. 1550 SG was one of the four variants of the model made for the army. Engraved on the caseback “BUNDESWEHR 6645-12-146-3774” are witnessed across all examples. On the dial, “3H” also known as “Hydrogen-3” is the chemical compound for tritium, which is the luminous material used for this dial.
This iconic chronograph manufacturer has a long tradition of precision timekeeping. As early as 1882, founder Edouard Heuer held a patent for a chronograph watch; in 1887, he received a patent for an oscillating pinion, which is still in use today. These specialized timepieces have been at the heart of the firm's success, enabling the brand to be chosen as early timekeepers for the Olympics. In 1969, the company introduced their first automatic chronograph watch, the Monaco Heuer, which celebrated the Monaco Grand Prix. Other key chronograph models include the Autavia and the Carrera, all of which having become iconic models of the firm.
