1970's Heuer Autavia 'Skipper' Yachting Chronograph 11063V

We have a huge soft spot for quirky vintage chronographs, especially ones with unique or obscure uses. It doesn't get more quirky than the Heuer Skipper, an unusual tool watch designed and built for yacht racing, featuring a large, colorful 15-minute counter for tracking the countdown start of a yacht race. The red, white and blue sub-dial is separated in five minute segments, each marking a period in the lead up to a regatta to allow skippers to gain every second of advantage as possible.
