1972 Heuer Skipper Ref. 1564 With Box and Papers
The Heuer Skipper was first introduced in 1968, designed specifically for sailors and boating enthusiasts. Its name "Skipper" suggests its nautical inspiration.
The Skipper gained its popularity because it was one of the first watches to feature a dedicated regatta timer complication. This complication is used to count down the critical minutes before the start of a yacht race. It helped sailors time their maneuvers precisely during the pre-start sequence.
