It is worth knowing that the Skipper reference codes were uniqe and did not correspond to the case reference number eg the first automatic Skipper reference 1564 was housed in a 1163V engraved case.
It was housed in the 1960’s Carrera case reference 7753.Īll further executions were housed in the Autavia cases and included the case reference 7763 Compressor case (Skipper 7764), 73463 (Skipper 73464), 1163V/1564 (Skipper 1564), 15640/11630 (Skipper 15640 blue and later black dial) and 11063 (Skipper 15640 black late). The special function on this watche is the regatta-timer, a subdial which shows the countdown of 15 minutes the sailors have before they cross the starting line of a regatta.Īfter labeling the Aquastar Regate 4000N with the Heuershield in the middle of the 1960s the real first regatta timer as a wristwatch produced by HEUER was given the name Heuer Skipper. With the blue and black dial and the colorful regatta-dial and orange hands it is one of the most cool and beautiful watches they ever made.
The Heuer Skipper is the yachting wrist chronograph made by Heuer from the late 1960s to the early 1980s in various configurations (and some more yachting watches). This site is the ultimate reference website and knowledge collection of the HEUER Yachting and Regatta watches.
