In Response To: Still in Need of a Name ()

:
: copied below is what you have written.

: I do not understand how this answers the question that I am
: raising. You are showing what we have been calling "Autavia
: 1163MH" -- has 3-6-9-12 on the hour recorder and polished
: steel hands. This one came after the "Chronomatic" but
: before the "Viceroy"; was sold for approximately $200,
: through the normal retail channels.

: My question: What do we call the one that I am showing here?? This
: version has MH bezel (from the factory), with 1-through-12 on
: this dial, with brushed steel hands, with red tips? Also sold
: through normal retail channels. This is not the same as the one
: you show.

: HEUER AUTAVIA 1163 MH (Steel Hands)

: (C) 2007-2008 by www.heuerautavia.com

: There have been several "versions" of these early
: transition Autavia’s (transition from manual wind to
: automatics). Starting with the "Chronomatic" version
: (TOP line print on watch saying "Chronomatic HEUER"
: instead of "Autavia HEUER"); Afterwards the steel hand
: version with blue tip on the hour and minute hands came up and
: finally the full steel version shown here. As a very final
: fourth version one was produced with the well known Viceroy
: hands but not with Tachy bezel but with the here shown MH bezel
: (this version will be shown soon here). All this versions carry
: the scarce Caliber 11 movement. To my surprise the here
: presented MH steel hand has a bracelet (see bracelet section)
: with a claps similar to the early manual autavia models; but end
: links clearly fit as the auto version should be. This evidence
: was underlined by a Siffert Chronomatic Autavia sold recently on
: ebay with the same bracelet style.
