A Stainless Steel Flyback Chronograph for the German Airforce Model: Bundeswehr Reference: 6645-12-146-3774 Circa: 1967 Cal. Valjoux 22 automatic movement, 17 jewels, black matte dial, luminous Arabic numerals, luminous hands, outer minute divisions, two black subsidiary dials for 30 minute register and constant seconds, red “3H” and “T” above 6 o’clock, water-resistant brushed stainless steel case, bezel calibrated to 60 units, two round chronograph buttons in the band, case back engraved “Bundeswehr 6645-12-146-3774” and secured by four screws, case, dial, and movement signed. In the early 1960’s, Leonidas watch company began producing chronograph wristwatches for the West German Federal Airforce, the Bundesluftwaffe. When Heuer bought the Leonidas company, they continued to produce some of the Leonidas designs, including the Bundeswehr models. There are several configurations of the Heuer-branded dials. The present example is from the early years of production, featuring the smaller “Heuer” logo below 12 o’clock, and above 6 o’clock a small “T” and red “3H” to indicate the use of tritium for luminous material.

As production continued into the late 1960’s and 1970’s, the Heuer logo and printing of numerals became larger. Heuer also issued watches to other units of the German military, so the case backs for the watches issued to the Bundeswehr were engraved with numbers corresponding to the specifications for these watches. The Budeswehr cases were produced by Sinn, and both companies reached a deal where Sinn would be allowed to use the cases they produced as well as the movements to sell Sinn-branded versions. While production of the Heuer-branded watches ceased in the late 1970’s, Sinn continued to produce the Bundeswehr into the 1990’s and was responsible for servicing any of the military-issued watches after Heuer production ended. The Heuer Bundeswehr is sought after for its functionality, with large numerals and flyback chronograph and modern design compared to many watches of the 1970’s. The present example is from an early issuing and is in mint condition.

I've been looking for a Heuer Bund watch to purchase. And my oh my what a mine field they seem to be. There seems to be so many variations out there.

I'm trying to find one that is as original as can be which is very difficult. I'm close to pulling the trigger on this one. Can anyone provide their expertise?

My main concern is the 1550SG between the lugs looks a little funky to me. Also the bevel space between the lugs and bezel isn't as pronounced as on other examples, but I've seen others similar to this.

Edgar Allan Poe If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear. George Orwell The first method for estimating the intelligence of a ruler is to look at the men he has around him. Niccolo Machiavelli. The Bundeswehr (name of the German Army, also called 'Bund' in short) watches were ordered by the German Army from Leonidas/Heuer during the early 1960ies onwards, given to their pilots and the officers in submarines. The are equipped with the robust Valjoux caliber 230, fourfold bolted housing and fly-back function. Until the beginning of the 1980ies, this watch never had another name than ‘Bundeswehr’ and always had a 13 digit number on the back, which made it possible to attribute it to the owner and year of make.
