Hi all,

Yesterday, I was fortunate enough to receive a G.Monnin Heuer 844, complete with Heuer signed bracelet with diver extension. I was also fortunate to acquire a Heuer Autavia Diver 100 late last year which I have put side by side the Monnin to provide a visual comparison of Heuer’s “Alpha” divers.

I know, as Heuer collectors, we have read many things about these two great watches telling us about their place (and importance) in Heuer history. So instead of boring you with facts, I’ll just show you some pictures 😁

Side by Side

Autavia, for its looks, chronograph, and overall timeless design.

Agree...the 11063 Autavia case is perfect, IMO. It's like Heuer saved their best case design for last 😀

That Monnin is beautiful, especially with the cathedral hands and the 24-hour dial...but of course I have a soft spot for your Autavia!

😉 Thanks DC, I've been looking for a Monnin and believe it or not, it found me without me even (actively) looking
