Heuer Stopwatch 542.838 | Vintage Rally Timer | Swiss Precision | Manual Wind
A genuine piece of motorsport timing history — this Vintage Heuer Stopwatch Ref. 542.838 represents the golden age of precision rally instrumentation. Designed for team rallying and endurance events, this mechanical stopwatch was once paired with Heuer’s legendary Monte Carlo dashboard timers, cementing Heuer’s dominance in the world of motor racing chronometry.
Encased in a 57mm x 57mm black Bakelite housing, it’s both lightweight and robust — purpose-built for performance and durability. The 60-second per revolution display is complemented by a 0–12 minute totaliser, operated smoothly via the upper pusher.
The black dial features the original lume-filled minute counters and a white central hand with a faded orange tip, showing natural aging consistent with authentic vintage use.
