Re: Autavia 1163 Cal. 11 - Anyone enlighten me?

Thanks Darren,
Interesting stuff. From the quick research I'm doing online, I have seen a few cal.11 with 1-12.. I'll keep looking though.

I've just realised that the photo I posted has a MH bezel.
The watch I'm interested in is a Tachy bezel version - identical to this one I found online, but with a Cal. 11 m'ment...

Cheers
Stewart

: I dont know that there are any hard and fast rules to the
: Viceroy/Bell watches but for my own count i would have expected
: to see a Cal.12 inside this watch due to the 1-12 numerals on
: the hour register.
: The Siffert i just displayed in the below Watchuwearing point has
: the 3,6,9,12 hour register, its these registers i associate with
: Cal.11 movements. That being said you cant imagine that the
: number of 3,6,9,12 register dials ran out at the Heuer
: production plant at exactly the same time as they ran out of
: Cal.11 movements. The obvious conclusion is that the must have
: been some exceptions to only 3,6,9,12 = Cal.11 rule.
: Sorry to say but i beleive there will never come an absolute rule
: on this point.
: Cheers - Darren
