This mid-70s Heuer 1614 is an absolute cracker! A rare and distinctive example of Heuer’s experimental era, this model features a manual-wind Valjoux 7735 movement, housed in a bold, tonneau-shaped stainless-steel case. With a two-tone grey dial, this French-made Heuer is an increasingly rare configuration, likely designed under cost-saving measures during the Quartz Crisis—and it shows off that 1970s charm with pride.
