The following years witnessed far more subtle changes, which are less easily identifiable, and that might only be differentiated by the length of the hands or the scale on the bezel for example. These changes were defined by the number after the hyphen in the reference number inscribed on the inside of the case back. The current example is a 2998-1 which features the much admired calibre 321, straight lugs, small pushers and a round 'O' in Omega.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

By sinking the subsidiary dials and outer scale within the opaque black dial background, the dial achieves an unusual three-dimensionality and an instantly recognisable look.Arguably no other watch has ever captured the imagination of the collector's world in the same way that the Paul Newman Rolex Daytona has. In recent years this model in all its different incarnations has built up an almost mythical reputation. With its iconic design and the photos on Paul Newman's wrist the exotic Daytona dial truly represents the dream of watch collecting.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ΩΩ VAT on imported items at the prevailing rate on Hammer Price and Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

It was the start of an ambitious partnership and was soon joined by the American watch producer Hamilton, which had established a major stake in the Büren watch company. The prototypes were promising and the newly named Calibre 11 'Chronomatic' movement; a symbiosis between 'chronograph' and 'automatic' exceeded all expectations. Jack Heuer actually preferred 'automatic chronograph' so gave the name 'Chronomatic' to Breitling.On all Heuer watches 'Chronomatic' was soon replaced by the individual model name.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Heuer. A stainless steel manual wind chronograph wristwatchModel: Carrera 'Red'Reference: 3647TDate: Circa 1965Movement: 17-jewel Valjoux Cal.92 manual wind, stamped MNDial: Silvered, applied polished baton hour markers with luminous tips, red outer tachymetre scale with raised black 1/5th second divisions, subsidiary dials at 3 and 9 for seconds and 45 minute recording, polished pointed baton hands with luminous inserts, centre chronograph handCase: Brushed and polished round, screw down back, crown flanked by twin chronograph pushers, No.73977Strap/Bracelet: Associated black leatherBuckle/Clasp: Signed steel buckleSigned: Case, dial & movementSize: 35mmFootnotes:With the launch of the Autavia in 1962, Jack Heuer was already looking for a second all chronograph line to quickly expand the portfolio. The new timepiece should be easy to read, anti-magnetic and shock- and waterproof. Development started early in 1962 and the Heuer 'Carrera' was launched to the public a year later.The name 'Carrera' was simple, easy to pronounce, understood in various languages and evoked imagery of adventure, danger and heroism. The first Heuer Carreras can be identified by the ED.HEUER&CO.SA signature on their inner case backs and movements. Soon after the merger with Leonidas to Heuer-Leonidas in late 1964 the markings changed to HEUER-LEONIDAS SA. Hence the overall production time of Carreras with these Ed Heuer marks was only for six months.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

In the Heuer catalogue the Monza was described as a special limited edition watch, delivered in a miniature red racing helmet to celebrate Niki Lauda's 1975 Formula 1 title. The case design of the Monza was inspired by the Carrera automatic chronograph and was available either in chrome or black anodized cases.

The references 110503 W, B, N for luminous white, blue and black are shown in the 1972 Heuer catalogue. The Heuer Montreal was a good fit for an expansion beyond the northern borders of the US. Heuer provided time keeping expertise for the 1976 Olympic Games also at the Canadian Grand Prix in Montreal from 1978. Gilles Villeneuve driving for the Heuer sponsored Ferrari team in 1978 was the first Canadian to win the home Grand Prix.The Heuer Montreal is a large watch reflecting well the trend of the 1970's. The case on the black PVD seems even larger with its thickly coated finish. Powered by the proven Calibre 12 automatic movement, the steel chronograph pushers are on the right side, whilst the steel winding crown is embedded in a protective recessed notch on the left. The dials of the new reference differs from the 1972 model. The steel indexes have been replaced by all luminous filed ones and the former contrastive 1/5 scale ring had the same colour as the dial.The PVD Montreal was shown first in the 1976 Heuer catalogue and the Heuer Montreal was discontinued a year later. It is rare to have a black PVD coated watch in such good condition.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

In the Heuer catalogue it was described as a special limited edition watch.The case design was inspired by the Carrera automatic chronograph and was available either in chrome or black cases. The first Monza generation was provided exclusively with a Calibre 15 and characteristic small second-hand stood at 10 o'clock. The name 'Monza' above the classical Heuer Logo in the upper part of the dial was a contrast to the Autavia, Carrera and Calculator models using the Calibre 15, where the name was put at 9 o'clock. The dial was surrounded by a pulse- and tachymeter scale, both very important for the world of motor sports.On Monza models, reference and serial numbers were engraved to the case back different from other Heuer model series where they are often between the lugs at 6 and 12 o'clock. The Monza was meant to attract a younger target group with its stylish look.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

The brushed case was paragon of elegance and was reminiscent of the chronographs of the 1950's. It had a polished steel or gold bezel, which contrasted nicely with the brushed case finish and this was specific to the Verona. Fine hands and thin indices matched the dress watch appearance and the reference and serial number, often found between the lugs at 6 and 12 o'clock, were engraved on the case back.As the Verona was only shown in the 1978 and 1979 Heuer catalogues it is a very rare piece.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
