The new model is named after the famous Formula 1 driver Jo Siffert, who won several races in the late 1960s before being killed in a tragic crash in 1971. The new timepiece is inspired by the original Heuer Autavia “Siffert” model which is known with its characteristic combination of white dial, black registers and blue accents making it one of the most desirable and valuable vintage Heuer watches.
