I bought a “NOS” Heuer Calculator earlier this year- it was an impulse buy really, as I had never previously liked the Calculator that much…they always look a little ungainly and over-sized in the photos.
In real life, they look fantastic. Yes, its a big watch, but no bigger than many new watches that are on sale today, so it has a very contemporary look. I’ve received more compliments around the office for my Calculator than I have for my Monaco 1133B!
Have you spotted what’s wrong with the watch yet? Yes, it has service hands. But what about the dial? Its missing the “Automatic Chronograph” on the dial, despite being an automatic watch.
You might assume that this is because some back-yard operator fitted a dial meant for a manual-wind Calculator to an automatic watch. And you’d be right…almost
