Heuer - Daytona "Tropical Dial" Ref. 110.203B
The Heuer Daytona
A distinctive chronograph from the exciting transitional period of the 1970s—the Heuer Daytona Ref. 110.203B belongs to the so-called third generation of Calibre 12 models, which were introduced in 1976. During this phase, Heuer combined the energy of motorsports with a significantly more refined and elegant design, after previous models had been characterized by extreme shapes.
The Daytona chronograph, named after the legendary racetrack, embodies this approach perfectly.
The absolute highlight of this watch is the stunning blue-violet iridescent Tropical dial, which shifts between deep blue and lilac hues depending on the light and ultimately fades into black—an effect that is unparalleled and makes this watch truly special.
The case is in very good overall condition with only slight, age-related signs of wear. The watch is equipped with the original Heuer steel bracelet, which underscores its sporty character.
Inside, the legendary Caliber 12 powers the watch—one of the first automatic chronograph movements in watchmaking history and a milestone in horological engineering. A rare and visually extraordinary Heuer Daytona—ideal for collectors who appreciate historical significance, motorsport DNA, and a unique dial.
The watch has been fully serviced by our workshop and comes with a 1-year guarantee.
