HEUER MONTE-CARLO DASHBOARD TIMER MODEL
This
particular unused Monte-Carlo requires the screw behind crystal at 45
be accessed and reinstalled. Cannot be accessed from back of watch to
best of my understanding. This was attempted at watch repair store.
The two screws on backing plate were removed; one was lost, and the
other is held in small bag. So, this will need face screw at 45 behind
crystal accessed and reinstalled, a matching screw for the back cover of
watch with the one retained, and both screwed in. Please view photographs and ask questions if this is not fully comprehended.
This may be incorrect, but believe watch face is most easily accessed through removal of poly-crystal by clipping bezel, normally at zero or top, and reattaching. Have had couple with firmly turning bezel and solid adhesion, but imperfect appearance where cut. An individual skilled at cutting and re-attaching or adhering is advised.
Rare
classic rallye timer. Very attractive black and white spartan design.
Beautifully smooth and precise movement with 7 jewels and
shock-protection. Crisp start/stop/restart crown and perfect return or
reset button. Features sixty second sweep, sixty-minute hand over black
dial with Arabic numerals. Firm, smoothly rotating, uni-directional 60
minute bezel with pointer. Jumping measurement of hours in window from
0 to 11 hours 59 minutes and then returning to zero. Includes rare
near fine original box, mounting bracket and hardware, manual and

From vintage Heuer catalogue: "1/5 second recorder, large hand registers 0-60 minutes, jumping hour disc show 0-12 hours, 2 crown functions with time-out and locked return of hands and disc, turning bezel with reverse division 60-0. Precision lever movement, 7 jewels, shock protected."
