You could say the Heuer Autavia Ref. 1163<\/a> is from the heyday of the chronograph. That iconic \u2018panda\u2019 face has been beloved since its namesake, Formula One driver Jo Siffert, began sporting it back in 1969. That should sound familiar. Rolex\u2019s white and black face chronograph, the Daytona, shot to popularity at the same time, as racecar driver Paul Newman began sporting one himself. But let\u2019s not get sidetracked here.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Paul
Paul Newman famously wore a Rolex Daytona Chronograph every day<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

While Newman was circling the track in the States, on the other side of the pond, the Swiss Siffert was lapping the competition and securing sponsorships of his own. He caught Jack Heuer\u2019s personal attention when he won the Formula 1 British Grand Prix in 1968, and by the next year, he\u2019d slapped a logo on his overalls and was wearing the brand new 1163 on his wrist.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"The
The Heuer \u2018Jo Siffert\u2019 Autavia Ref. 1163<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

That iconic face and celebrity endorsement quickly caught the world\u2019s attention and solidified the Heuer Autavia Ref. 1163 as one of the holongeries most famous vintage chronographs and race watches.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"The
The Heuer Calibre 11 Movement<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The watch was also groundbreaking mechanically, as the Calibre 11 (with 17 jewels) debuted in the Heuer 1163 was the first automatic chronograph movement to hit the market. Heuer developed the movement alongside Breitling, Hamilton\/Buren and Dubois-Depraz to beat out Zenith and Seiko. Project 99, as it\u2019s known today, produced three separate automatic chronograph calibers later that year.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"The
The race to create the world’s best movement was well publicized<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Now, while we might have referred to that famous white and black face as a \u2018panda\u2019<\/a> before, in reference to Heuer, and the 1163 specifically, it\u2019s called a Jo Siffert face. Defined by those two black subdials at three and nine and the date at six, it\u2019s one of the rarest models on the market today. If you look a little closer you\u2019ll also notice those striking cobalt blue accents above the black “ridged” steel luminous baton numerals. The color travels around the face painted on the arms of the hands, too.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"The
The Jo Siffert face is defined by\u00a0two black subdials at three and nine and the date at six<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Around the face you\u2019ll also see that black tachymeter bezel and the stainless steel case surrounding it. Now, lean into your screen a little bit — around the case, you\u2019ll spot those fluted pushers that have a reces cut into the top side. Take note, the pusher at nine is always marked with \u2018Heuer.\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n

The handsome, bold look of this watch<\/a> is just as impressive today as it was half a century ago. But while it\u2019s easy to fall in love with this watch, it\u2019s hard to get your hands on one.
