Fantastic Skipperrera ! ! ! And Here's Some Information
In Response To: Skiperrera *PIC* ()

Anthony:

Great to see this one . . . here are some key points:

  • Introduced around 1968, around the time that Heuer first used the V7730, but this version had a short production life, as it was soon replaced by the Autavia-cased Skipper (Ref 7764)
  • Valjoux 7730 movement, modified so that the minute counter rotates once in 15 minutes (but notice the jump every 30 seconds; unique among the Heuers)
  • Heuer Reference is 7754 (as shown below), but it uses the same case as the 7753 Carreras [we see this same anomoly with the later ones, 7764 Skipper is in 7763 Autavia case]
Thanks for posting this one; what a fun watch, that we don't see very often!!
