The Heuer Bundeswehr 43mm 1550SG Vintage Flyback Chronograph, from the 1960s, is a rare and highly sought-after timepiece that reflects both military precision and vintage charm. Originally designed for the German military, this robust chronograph features a 43mm stainless steel case, which exudes both size and strength, ensuring durability and legibility even under tough conditions. The black dial is characterized by its bold layout, with luminous hour markers, white subdials for chronograph functions, and distinctive "flyback" feature, allowing for quick resetting of the chronograph hand. The dial is further enhanced with a tachymeter scale around the perimeter, ideal for measuring speed over a fixed distance.

Powered by the legendary Valjoux 230 movement, the 1550SG is a flyback chronograph that enables the user to reset the stopwatch hand to zero instantly, making it ideal for precise timing in high-pressure environments. The watch is completed with a durable leather strap that enhances its vintage military aesthetic while ensuring comfort and security on the wrist. Water-resistant and built for performance, the Heuer Bundeswehr 1550SG is not just a timekeeping tool but a piece of horological history, offering both function and style for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
