Daytona "Tropical Dial"
Sold
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 was introduced in 1976. During this phase, Heuer combined the energy of motorsport 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 exactly this approach.
The absolute highlight of this watch is the dreamily blue-violet iridescent tropical dial, which plays between deep blue and purple shades depending on the light and ultimately fades into black – an effect that is second to none and makes this watch particularly 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 Calibre 12 is at work, one of the first automatic chronograph movements in watchmaking history and a milestone in watch technology.
A rare and visually extraordinary Heuer Daytona – ideal for collectors who appreciate historical significance, motorsport DNA, and a unique dial.
