Up for sale is a fantastic find, especially for vintage or larger watch lovers. The Heuer Calculator is a fantastic historical piece, using the Caliber 12 movement (the first true chronograph), boasting 42 hrs of power reserve, and a unique bezel to allow conversions of units and quick calculations.
Condition:
The watch is in fantastic shape for its age. There is light fading and a few marks on the bezel. There are also a few larger marks as well as seen in the pictures. The bezel turns well, and still has that new-in-box stiffness that you don't find in most vintage pieces. The hands are ORIGINAL and have not faded their orange color as most have. The dial and case are ORIGINAL and have never been replaced. The crystal is ORIGINAL and has little to no marks on it from a recent cleaning.
The watch comes with two straps from strapcode.com. The larger bracelet is shown, and I am also including a leather rally strap. The leather has never been worn. The bracelet is in great, like-new condition.
Service History:
The watch has recently been serviced by Craig Bergsma at chronodeco.(it was returned at the beginning of 2015) and has mostly sat in a safe since. Craig is the guy to go to for vintage service. The details of the service are below. I will provide proof of service via the email receipt from Craig.
