Introduced in 1958, the Super Autavia was hailed as the first dash-board chronograph for motorcars, power boats and airplanes. The headline in Heuer brochures of the period proudly announced that the Super Autavia shows simultaneously Time of Day and Time of Trip. For many collectors and enthusiasts, the Super Autavia is the ultimate Heuer dashboard timepiece, not merely a clock or timer, but a true chronograph.
We include two additional timepieces in this presentation of the Super Autavia -- Heuer's Aircraft Chronograph (Reference 430) and the Targa Florio Chronograph. Both these timepieces use the same movements as the Super Autavia -- the Aircraft Chronograph was introduced in the late 1960's / early 1970's and is powered by the Valjoux 5; the Targa Florio Chronograph was produced in the early 1950's, and is powered by the Valjoux 76.
