HEUER
Autavia
ANDRETTI
3646
An icon of racing, the Autavia (combining the worlds of ‘Automotive’ and ‘Aviation’) originally featured as dashboard clocks and in cockpits would later become the Chronograph of choice for various Formula 1 drivers.
The 3rd Execution 3646 with Hours bezel was famously worn by Mario Andretti, one of the most successful Americans in the history of Motorsport. He is one of only two drivers to have won races in Formula 1, Indy car, World Sportscar Championship and NASCAR.
We present here a fully original example with rare and correct Serif font bezel.
