First time I've seen this photo - what's the model on the right?
(the second and minute hands, the 12-o-clock triangle, position of 'quartz' and '600 feet' don't seem to match the regular 1000 series pattern).

I believe it's an early edition of the 1000 series, when Heuer were still working out the design. It's 666 feet (equivalent to 200 metres metric.) and uses the 'economy' style case with plexi instead of mineral. Actually, I wasn't sure it was legit until I saw the same photo some years ago-you still don't see many of them. I've taken a very quick photo-sorry about the quality!

666 ?? ooer. 馃槈
Very interesting - the 12 index has a very 'mid-70s / Rolex' vibe so I get what you mean. Perhaps it's one of the prototypes or example models that were used to sell the watch to the various diving brands that sold it under their own name? eg (iirc) Spirograph?

That's bloody loverly.
I really like the red 24 hour indexes on the Monnin 844. (although I'm not a huge fan of the cathedral hands)

路A similar design was used by Le Gran at the time and probably others, I'm not sure there was an affiliation though other than using the same case/dial manufacturers-
https://omegaforums.net/threads/vintage-le-gran-diver-day-date.71256/
IIRC (I stand to be corrected) the main reason the 1000 series was such a success for Heuer was because they were sold to / produced for diving companies to sell on as their own products (ie business to business brand engineering sales). So while Heuer used commonly used parts (eg Monnin cases etc), they also made up the watches for other companies to sell as their own. Kinda like FIAT Ducato vans being sold as Ram ProMaster vans in the US.

Not for nothing, the Bulova Snorkel line from the 1970s has always been known as the "Devil Diver" 馃槈

路Wonderful Mark - the last true Carrera.
I've always loved the fact that unlike for the other 510.50x they did keep the "AUTOMATIC CHRONOGRAPH" lettering on the L5100 Carreras - the direct link to their Cal.11-12 forefathers!
Cheers.
