The oversized crown, Arabic numerals and sword-shaped hands take inspiration from Heuer pilot watches and timers from 1933 to 1957. The dial is smoked brown, the ceramic 60-minute bezel rotates bi-directionally. The rounded stainless-steel case and beveled lugs echo those of the Autavia from the 1960s.

A key feature is the Autavia’s “quick release” button, which allows you to easily swap bracelets and straps without tools. Just push the button on the inside of the strap to release it from the springbar, which stays in place.

Protected by a domed and beveled sapphire crystal with double anti-reflective treatment, the Autavia’s stainless-steel case has brushed and polished lugs and is water resistant to 100 meters.
