Pure Mid-Century Sophistication
Before Heuer became the titan of racing chronographs, they mastered the art of the “De Luxe” dress watch. This 1950s treasure, the reference 38318, is a time capsule of post-war optimism and Swiss refinement, offering a level of understated luxury that is hard to find in modern equivalents.
A Case of Solid Gold
Unlike gold-plated alternatives, this piece is crafted from solid 18k yellow gold. The warmth of the metal is perfectly complemented by the sunburst-style hour markers and the sharp, dauphine hands. At 36mm, it carries a distinguished presence on the wrist—slim enough to slide under a cuff, yet bold enough to be noticed.
Mechanical Artistry
Inside, the 25-jewels automatic movement provides the convenience of self-winding technology with the charm of 1950s engineering. It has been preserved beautifully, ensuring that this watch remains a reliable companion for the modern gentleman who values history as much as timekeeping.
