Heuer Stopwatch

[julius]

Hello!

 

I have a Heuer watch from the 70s, I think, which is for shooting. It is completely unused and still works perfectly today and is mechanical. Haven’t seen a single one online so I’m contacting you to see if you have any price information on it. Ref: 653.518

 

Attached images and a video below.

 

Best regards Julius

Dear Julius,

Thanks for your message.

First time I have seen this wrist stopwatch  !!! Had luck to find it in one catalog ! You are right it is designed for sport shooting. Don’t know what is the rules of this sport. Guess there are 4 one minute steps and maybe you a 15 second delay to shoot.

In attachment an extract of a 1978 catalog. It was probably produced in the 70’s or early 80’s.

Here is the text translation : wrist timer for shooting. Long hand makes one rotation in 60 minutes and small one is a 0 – 4 minute register. Position 0 at -15 secondes (like in the picture). Start / stop / reset by the crown. Pin anchor 7 jewel movement. Shockprotected. Case in “Noryl”.

Hope it can help you

Regards
