Montreal Mark II
ref.750.501
Vintage 1970s
Automatic Chronograph
Valjoux 7750
This is the second generation of Heuer Montreal chronograph, powered by more reliable Valjoux 7750 movement (rather than revolutionary, but constantly breaking Buren cal.12). Nice condition stainless steel case; dial and hands in original condition with some patina.
The movement has been fully serviced in December 2016 and comes with 6 months warranty for the service. It keeps very good time, chrono functions works properly.
Not many of Mark II Montreals were manufactured as Heuer changed hands in 1984, and its production profile as a result, and therefore these are recently more sought after by collectors.
