This is one of the coolest watches that we have had in stock for a while…its become an office favourite!
Issued to the Israeli Defence Force, the IDF, this black coated Autavia has all the cool looks and battle scars that one could ever wish for in a military-issued watch.
The IDF, known in Hebrew as Tzahal, includes all branches of Israel's military forces, comprising the ground forces, air force and navy.
We can only imagine the missions and journeys that this watch has taken…
This watch has a 41mm steel case with black coating that has battle scars and patina as you would expect from a watch that has been used by a military unit. The case back has had the issue markings erased at some point.
The dial is awesome, with a tropical ‘tiger stripe’ effect that is a warm brown and looks incredible.
We believe that the dial was relumed in the past, probably by a military watchmaker; these watches were used and weren’t babied !
The watch has a countdown bezel with plenty of signs of life .The watch will come on the pictured Bulang and Sons strap ( made out of vintage military jackets.).and has been fully serviced by our watchmaker.
The Heuer Autavia was Jack Heuer’s watch that he developed as a watch for both the automotive and aviation fields AUT-AVIA. We think this military-issued version is pretty special. Get in touch to discuss it more!
