Heuer - Bundeswehr 3H Chrono Ref. 1550SG

Start your Engines!

We are pleased to offer you a rare Heuer Reference 1550SG from around 1967 with clear military provenance.

The watch comes from the inventory of a Tactical Fighter-Bomber Wing. The German Armed Forces supply number is still clearly visible on the case back. Our Heuer has the original, authentic and coveted 3H dial. The marking indicates the use of tritium, a hydrogen isotope (3H), as a luminous material.

The dial is in very good condition, considering its age. The hands are also coated with Tritium luminous material and are in a congruent state of preservation and aging.

The 43 mm case and bezel ring are in very nice, slightly worn condition. There are no deep scratches or dents.

Inside, the Valjoux 230 with flyback function ticks away.

The following additional items are included in the delivery:

- Two original, older service receipts.

- A material tag from the German Armed Forces (not directly from the watch, but typical for the associated equipment).

- A copy of the Luftwaffe technical manual (relevant for historical contextualization).

- Two old, original straps are also included.

This Heuer 1550 SG combines authentic military features with a technically remarkable Valjoux-based flyback chronograph circuit—an outstanding piece for collectors of historical pilot watches and for enthusiasts of military equipment.

The watch has been completely checked by our workshop and comes with a 1-year guarantee.
