Heuer introduced its 60-minute dashboard stopwatch in the early 1950's. The first models were listed as “Auto Rallyes” in catalogs and other literature, but only had the “Heuer” logo on the dial. Early Auto Rallyes matched the Hervues and Autavias of the period, with a chromium-coated case and screw-on bezel. A single button (pusher) to the left of the crown controlled the Valjoux 62 movement. From 1958, the Auto Rallyes were redesigned to incorporate the A. Schild 1564 movement and to match the other dashboard Heuers of the period, with the pusher moved to the right of the crown. The final versions of the metal-cased Auto-Rallye used a thicker case and a Valjoux 7710 movement, with the Auto-Rallyes spending their final years in plastic cases.
