Siffert = White, with Blue (Not Orange)


lots of people use the name "Siffert" to describe particular Heuer chronographs. Some say that the only real Siffert is the "Chronomatic"; some extend the term to any of the Reference 1163T Automatics (shown below); some extend to any of the white dialed / blue trim Autavias, automatic or manual.

To this point I can understand the use of the name "Siffert", as these watches have the same design and color scheme as the one that he was known to wear.

To extend the name to any white-dialed / light-dialed Autavia, even with orange trim, seems wrong to me. These Autavias have a very different look, and do not really resemble the original "Sifferts".
