NOTES: The 1960’s saw the race towards the development of the first automatic chronograph movement. Two groups were in contention for this feat: Movado/Zenith versus Heuer/Breitling/Hamilton/Dubois Depraz. The Caliber 11 was released just ahead of its competitor in March 1969 and became the first iconic automatic chronograph in the world. The amalgamations that lead to its success therefore benefited from the same caliber fitted into Breitling, Heuer-Leonidas and Hamilton-Buren. This caliber became the base workhorse for the next 40 years to follow including its successor the Caliber 11-I and then the Caliber 12 to finally Caliber 15.
The Heuer Calculator is an extra large 46mm ‘Slide Rule’ watch developed in the 1970’s by Heuer for pilots (much like the Breitling Navitimer).
