Introduction
The Heuer De Luxe is a lesser-known model in the early history of Heuer (now TAG Heuer). The De Luxe was designed as an elegant dress watch, appealing to customers seeking something a bit more special than an ordinary everyday watch.
Movement
The Heuer De Luxe models typically housed a generic but high-quality manual-wind movements often sourced from respected Swiss manufacturers. This model used the A. Schild 1361, a manual wind movement operating at a frequency of 18,000 bph. The AS 1361 was widely used in wristwatches during the mid-20th century, particularly in dress watches that required a reliable, compact manual movement.
Heuer De Luxe Service and repair
This wristwatch, while showing signs of its age and use, embodies the charm and character that only decades of wear can impart. The dial showed some slight fading and discoloration, adding to its vintage appeal. The watch movement required some minimal repair. The movement was carefully cleaned, lubricated, and adjusted, ensuring it keeps time accurately. Servicing a watch goes far beyond merely running it through a cleaning machine. It involves a meticulous process that includes polishing the jewel holes to ensure smooth operation and inspecting all wheels and pivots for wear or damage. Each component must be carefully examined and maintained to ensure the watch functions accurately and reliably. This comprehensive approach ensures the longevity and precision of the timepiece.
