None I know - What about "Scientists' chrono"?
In Response To: random Q: have the 11063V autavias have any nicknames? ()

Hey Walter, wonderful watch, though I may be partial as I am an 11063V nut myself ;-)-
Actually it does not seem to have a specific moniker, also considering it's from the late Heuer period where they stopped putting even names to watches!
I do agree however it's high time it had one - the page of the period catalogues showed it with the calculator and the Autavia 11630GMT and said: for pilots (that's certainly the GMT I daresay!), for engineers and for scientists.
Which leaves us between the Calculator and the 11063V for scientists and engineers - IMO it'd be more natural to attribute the Calculator to engineers, which then would leave the 11063V as the "Scientists' chronograph"!
What do the Autavia cognoscenti think?
Cheers,
Fabrizio

IMO the 11063Vs are the most robust of the autavias
