The Modena can be identified as a German version of the Heuer Monza as it only ever appeared in the German version of the 1977 Heuer catalogue. Interestingly, the two models share the same reference number and the same aesthetic to the exception of the name printed on the dial. Produced in lower numbers than its English sibling, the Modena features the same chrome plated brass case, housing a caliber 15 and bears the name Monza on its caseback. Named after two famous Italian race tracks, these chronographs display a very sporty racing look.

The present reference 150.511 is in very appealing condition and is fitted with an unusual Heuer bracelet, which is also different from the Monza as it features large spacing between the links and a ratchet type adjustable clasp. The unsigned crown is the correct one. This very rare example will be a great find for any collector looking for a sporting chronograph with a little twist that only a serious collector can identify.

Heuer

Swiss | 1860
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.
