HEUER REF. 110.313R SILVERSTONE STEEL Heuer, "Silverstone, Automatic Chronograph", Ref. 110.313 R. Made circa 1974. Fine, cushion-shaped, water-resistant, antimagnetic, stainless steel wristwatch with round button chronograph, registers, date and crown at 9 o'clock. Two-body, polished and brushed, concave bezel, hooded lugs, screwed down case back, sapphire crystal.

DIM. 42 x 44 mm. THICKNESS 14 mm. Launched in 1974, the SILVERSTONE was a nice alternative to the other square-cased chronograph available at the time, the MONACO. Available in 3 different colors (blue, red and grey), the Silverstone reached cult status for collectors since SWISS FORMULA ONE driver CLAY REGAZZONI was sponsored and seen sitting in his Formula one car wearing the blue-dialed version. TAG HEUER re-launched the Silverstone in 2010 in celebration of the 150th anniversary of the brand.
