Description
The HEUER ref. 403.229 is for medical staff. The dial has graduations to read quickly puls and breath (see this article). The original box which comes whith this nice condition timer gives few informations about the history of this vintage HEUER timer; a valuable add for collectors who enjoy to learn about their timepiece origins. Indeed a retailler adress is stamped inside the cover (he was firstly bought in the XXem district of Paris) and the name of the HEUER importer (s.a.v.i.c) is printed on the side.
