With its quirky ‘big-eye’ Chronograph sub-dials and ingenious triple-date feature displaying day, month, and date, it captured the spirit of its time. This watch was more than an accessory; it was a symbol of sophistication, gracing the wrists of racers, adventurers, and collectors alike. Whether timing a rally in Monte Carlo or marking milestones in everyday life, the Heuer Triple Date seamlessly blended functionality with timeless design. Decades later, it remains a revered piece, cherished by enthusiasts as a reminder of an era when craftsmanship and innovation shaped the world of horology. The watch remains in authentic and unrestored condition, retaining all its original components. This model showcases a captivating tropical brown dial, rich in character. While the dial exhibits wear and some of the date numerals are challenging to read, we deeply value the authenticity of such a dial over a pristine or restored one that might not reflect the history and experiences of a watch like this over the past 80 years. The case has been preserved in its unpolished state, featuring minor scratches consistent with normal use. Powered by the renowned Valjoux caliber 72C movement, the watch demonstrates excellent accuracy. All complications function flawlessly, including the two quick-set features. Accompanying the watch is an elegant gold and steel bracelet from the 1960s, adjustable for a wrist circumference of up to 20 centimeters, with removable links for customization. Case dimension: 35 Millimeters. ============================== This watch comes with 12 months of guarantee on mechanical defects, just like all other watches we have available for sale unless stated otherwise.
