Watch 38 Heuer

This Heuer Autavia "Jo Siffert" dial watch was submitted by James Lamdin. (instagram user @analogshift)

'The Heuer has the same color scheme (Panda dial with blue highlights) as the model worn by legendary racing driver Jo Siffert.  As a Porsche enthusiast (and really just a vintage car enthusiast in general), to me there is no watch that better exemplifies the connection between motorsports and timepieces.  I lusted after a Siffert Autavia for many years before finding one that I could afford.  It is perhaps less desirable (being manual winding) than the Calibre 11 Automatic versions, but is actually quite a bit rarer - and I actually prefer the look of the triple subsidiary dials to the two on the automatic.  It is without a question a permanent part of my collection.'
