Starting in the 1930's Heuer started manufacturing for the German military and airforce which brings us to the stunning Heuer Bundeswehr Chronograph. Manufactured in the 1960's and 1970's, the Heuer Bundeswehr Chronograph was designed and built to German military specifications with a focus on rugged durability and dependability. It featured a sturdy steel case measuring a large 43mm across ensuring it would be readable under even the most strenuous of conditions. This military-issued Flyback chronograph boasted a robust manually-wound movement which was built to be relatively simple as well as long-lasting. The black dial featured white numerals, two sub-dials for the chronograph function and a red "3/H" German military stamp.
These models are relatively scarce nowadays given the nature of the profession of those who wore them.
You can buy one (or other beautiful vintage watches) here.
