Measurements of Six Autavias? What Do You Come Up With?

I am trying to arrive at the measurements of the six standard Autavia cases, and come up with the numbers below. Realizing that there may be some play, because of the height of the crystals, I am wondering whether these measurements seem about right to our Autavia enthusiasts?

  • First execution screw-back = 38.5 mm across the dial (or across the bezel) and 13mm thick (back of case-back to top of crystal).
  • Second execution screw-back = 39 mm ACD and 13.5 mm thick
  • Compressor case (snap-back) = 40.5 mm ACD and 13.5 mm thick
  • 1163 = 42.5 mm ACD and 15 mm thick
  • 11630 = 42.5 mm ACD and 15 mm thick
  • 11063 = 42.5 mm ACD and 15 mm thick
So please pull out your Autavias and your calipers, and let me know if you come up with any different dimensions. I was a bit surprised that 1163 / 11630 / 11063 all came out the same, but perhaps they were not all correct crystals.

Thanks,

Jeff
