Heuer. A stainless steel automatic calendar chronograph cushion form bracelet watch Model: Silverstone Red Reference: 110.313R Date: Circa 1974 Movement: 17-jewel Cal.12 automatic Dial: Red, raised luminous baton hour markers, white outer 1/5th second divisions, subsidiary dials at 3 and 9 for 30 minute and 12 hour recording, date aperture at 6, white pointed baton hands with luminous inserts, white centre chronograph hand Case: Brushed and polished cushion form, screw down back, polished concave bezel, signed crown at 9 with fluted pushers at 2 and 4, No.310122 Strap/Bracelet: Fitted polished link Buckle/Clasp: Signed folding clasp Signed: Case, dial & movement Size: 42mm Fußnoten The Silverstone was created to be an iconic design successor for the square shaped Monaco and first appeared in the 1974 Heuer catalogue where Clay Regazzoni in a blue race suit wore a blue dial example while sitting in the Ferrari 312 T Formula 1 car. Along with the blue version, Heuer also released the model in red and 'fume'. The current lot is a great example of the red Silverstone with the vivid hue of the dial offering a real coup for collectors. Despite their extensive catalogue of models it is only the Silverstone that Heuer ever produced with this colour dial. As a model the Silverstone had a short product life cycle and after three years of production it was last shown in the 1977 catalogue.
