The legendary Heuer 2446C “Compressor Case” Autavia. Worn by racing legends such as Jochen Rindt, this model has real motorsport DNA, and this particular example presents beautifully with all the right patina.
Case and bezel: The 40mm case is in good vintage condition, with some expected light wear throughout, and no major dings or damage. The rotating bezel shows a charming “ghost fade” patina, but remains fully legible, with that classic tachy scale that gives this piece its tool-watch edge.
Movement, dial, and crystal: The Valjoux 72 movement is running well, and the chronograph is functioning exactly as intended with a crisp pusher feel. The matte black dial with white sub-dials is in excellent condition, showing no major marks, and the lume plots have aged evenly with warm patina. The plexiglass  crystal is clean and clear.
Strap: It’s currently fitted to a high-quality black rally-style strap with a later TAG Heuer-signed buckle (non-original to the watch but fits the era nicely).
Inclusions: No box or papers with this one, but it’s all original aside from the strap/buckle.
