Heuer "Autavia", Case No. 133529, Ref. 7763C, Cal. Val 7730, 40 mm, circa 1968
A "cult" wristwatch with chronograph, rotating bezel with tachy scale and compressor case. The 7763C is the first generation Autavia with two registers. In May 2017 the watch was given a general overhaul by Tag Heuer.
Case: steel, push back. Dial: black.
Only a very small number of the Heuer Autavia reference 7763C with black dial and two light registers was produced, making it a rare and highly sought after collector’s chronograph watch.
The C designation after the reference 7763 stands for "compressor" and refers to the snap-back construction holding the case back in place with a large C clip. It is sealed with a large rubber ring. The bezel of reference 7763 is wider than that of the earlier Autavias and has lateral groups of
"teeth". The model is available in different version - with hour indication, combined minute and hour indication and with tachymeter scale.
