    Dear Community,
    I offer for sale (or trade) my Heuer Autavia 7763 from circa 1969.

    The serial number 113,258 is visible with a loupe between the 12 o'clock lugs.
    The reference number 7763 is visible with a loupe between the 6 o'clock lugs.

    Approximate dimensions of the watch are as follows:
    Case diameter 40 mm
    Bezel diameter 40.5 mm
    Between the lugs 20 mm
    Lug tip to lug tip 49 mm

    I have owned the watch for over 5 years and whilst it has not been serviced in my possession, the watch runs properly including all the chronograph functions.

    Included in the sale are the watch, the black leather perforated strap (which is in used condition), the aftermarket buckle and a signed book, all as seen in the pictures below.

    The interesting history behind this watch is that it was owned by Adrian Flanagan who was the first lone yachtsman to sail vertically around the world. Page 6 of the book describes him purchasing the watch in Hong Kong, and page 65 confirms the watch was with him whilst he was circumnavigating the globe.

    The case of the watch is in poor condition, especially the 7 o'clock lug which looks to have taken quite a hit, but that is part of the story of this watch!

    My asking price is GBP 5,400 ( Down from 5,500 ) and as always, I am happy to discuss any aspect or provide further info/pics etc, please just ask.
