    Hi, I got the silver one for my birthday and I am wondering if its a fake or if its genuine. In the 1984/85 catalogue I can see that there is no arrow on the second time teller. Also the text doesn't stand in the correct order ( like the word "Professional" stands at the top, 51_217076946.jpg 51_1190643417.jpg but in the catalogue it stands at the bottom).

    Hi. As you would have seen, there are two versions of the Heuer Airline- a 24 hour version (with the complicated bracelet) and the simpler 12-hour version which you have.

    I'm on the road at the moment, but I'm quite confident that both of these are genuine- ref 895.513 and Ref 896.513

    Heuer changed quite a few of the details every couple of years, it's not unusual that a few of the details differ.
