The Heuer Skipper Ref. 7764

Man oh man, do I ever find vintage Heuer watches remarkably appealing! Stumbled upon this Hodinkee article about the fantastic watch and has to share. For me it's enjoyable just looking at them online.













I'm just such a huge fan of these design elements! Would love to own one of these (or any vintage chronograph) some day.

Those are cool!

A Denver friend just got a vintage Heuer Diver and I’m excited to see it in September when we get together for lunch.

Baco Noir Wow, that's a nice piece too! I'm a sucker for any vintage Heuer. Please take more pictures during this future gathering.

I might have to get one of those. Although I'm a bracelet guy, it looks killer on the Nato!

I remember reading something about these Skippers that they also sold under the name of a sports outfitter. Maybe Abercrombie and Fitch. Gotta hit the Google..

muckymark Please post any findings you stumble upon. Those collaboration pieces are interesting, and although I'm a fan of Tag Heuer, the "Heuer" days was there golden era. However, I'm thrilled to see the reissues coming.

How cool is that! Man how I wish those days were still a thing. Back when fashion companies got makers of fine mechanical watches to brand the dials or customize them. Sure, it still happens but very rarely and aren't obtainable.

Truly a special era for watches this was!
