ABOUT THIS WATCH:
Get down and get funky! Everything about this incredible piece is pure 1970's bliss. Not only a super cool design, but it is a very beautifully made watch. This example was hardly ever worn and has the original smoked translucent acrylic box. Heuer manufactured LeJour chronographs under a private-label that mirrored a number of Heuer models, this being the same as the Heuer ref: 1614.
