The variety and imagination of these names that the Heuer has used since the 20th century, especially in the ’70s, is incredible. Also part of this late 1970s collection was a sporting chronograph named after a Spanish Formula 1 track, linked with Gilles Villeneuve: the Heuer Jarama. This model firstly appeared in the catalogue in 1977 and was only produced for a couple of years with very limited number of specimens available. With a cushion-style case shape, the Jarama was offered with three models, each of them powered by Heuer in-house Chronomatic Caliber 12 movement. It’s a more complex case than many of Heuer’s designs with a combination of a polished lower case and a starburst top case, nicely integrated chronograph pushers and a clear, simple dial. The present lot is the final iteration of the Jarama, the reference 110 223, realized in stainless steel, black dial and a unique PVD bezel – an unusual design that is the most sporting in execution in great conditions.
