The Heuer Autavia 42mm (Ref. 11630MH) isn’t just a watch—it’s a gateway to a bygone era, where precision and adrenaline-fueled action defined the world of motorsport. Crafted for those who live for the thrill of the race, this timepiece combines bold design with iconic functionality. Originally introduced as a dashboard timer for race cars and aircraft, the Autavia (a portmanteau of “AUTomobile” and “AVIAtion”) evolved into one of the most coveted chronographs of its time. The 11630MH model brings this history to life, delivering a retro-cool aesthetic with a distinctly modern edge.
Born for the Fast Lane
One glance at the Autavia 11630MH and you’re transported back to the golden age of racing. The robust 42mm stainless steel case, with its polished and brushed surfaces, is as resilient as it is eye-catching. The real showstopper is the iconic black and red aluminum bezel, a design choice that both commands attention and serves a practical purpose—combining a tachymeter scale to measure speed and an hour scale for a second time zone. This is not just a watch for style—it’s built for function, crafted with the professional in mind.
The watch's black dial with contrasting white sub-dials is a nod to its vintage roots, offering exceptional legibility and that quintessential motorsport look. The fiery red hands and accents add a burst of energy, hinting at the high-octane performance that the Autavia represents. It’s bold, it’s adventurous, and it’s ready for action.
The Power of Heuer’s Caliber 12
Underneath the iconic design lies a technical masterpiece—the renowned Heuer Caliber 12 automatic chronograph movement. This movement was revolutionary when it debuted in the late '60s, and it continues to be a testament to Heuer’s pioneering spirit. With the quickset date feature and chronograph functions, the Caliber 12 delivers precision timing down to the second, allowing you to track your best laps, whether on the racetrack or in your daily life.
A standout feature is the left-hand crown, an instantly recognizable trait of Heuer’s automatic chronographs. This unique design choice wasn’t just for aesthetics—it was a deliberate move to reduce wear on the automatic winding system, showcasing Heuer’s dedication to both form and function.
Built for Adventure, Crafted for Collectors
The Autavia 11630MH is not just a watch for racing fans—it's a collector’s dream. The bi-directional rotating bezel allows for easy measurement of elapsed time, while the 100-meter water resistance ensures this timepiece is as tough as it looks. Whether you’re timing a race, flying across time zones, or simply enjoying a night out, the Autavia is as versatile as it is stylish.
The domed acrylic crystal further amplifies the vintage appeal while offering a clear view of the dial, protected from the scratches and impacts of everyday wear. The sturdy stainless steel bracelet with a folding clasp ensures the watch stays securely on your wrist, whether you’re behind the wheel or pushing boundaries on your next adventure.
