13-1

The Heuer 13-1 featured in the 1979 catalogue along side other less familiar references but along side the classic Autavia and Carrera.

To compete on price Heuer added their own quartz range and a series of low cost mechanical chronographs such as the references 12, 13-1 and 1611. These did not last long so they are seldom seen and not highly coveted by collectors. This particular example featured a PVD coated brass case and the unique co-branded dial - KONI/Heuer
