I Have Created Page in Our Chronograph Section
In Response To: Chronograph? Yes. Chronometer? No. More>>> *LINK* *PIC* ()


guys:

I have created a page (or two) for these pilots chronographs, but have a couple of questions:

  • what year were they introduced? I see them in 1980 catalog, but wonder whether they were introduced earlier.

  • Heuer seems to call them "Aviation" chronographs in the catalogs. Are we OK with that name? The more common reference among the enthusiasts seems to be to "Pilots" chronographs. What'll it be?

CHUCK -- as the leading enthusiast / devotee of these chronographs, can you help on these questions?

Thanks,

Jeff
