Here is a fabulous, all original Ed. Heuer & Cie Moonphase Chronograph from 1985. The white dial is in very fine condition, with large Arabic numerals in black script marking the hours and a chapter ring marking the minutes and seconds/sub-seconds. Along the rim of the dial is a tachymetre scale. The dial has four sunken subdials with golden rims. The 12 o’clock subdial shows the moonphase with a blue background and golden stars and moon, with the date indicated around the rim of the subdial. The 3 o’clock subdial shows the chronograph minute counter, the 6 o’clock subdial shows the chronograph hour counter and the 9 o’clock subdial shows the running seconds. Under magnification, a couple of small spots can be seen around date number 23 and along the tachymetre scale from around 75 to 70. The chronograph seconds is indicated by the central seconds hand. All hands are painted black, including the central leaf shaped hour and minute hands.

The gold plated bezel is in very fine condition, with only light overall wear. The gold plated case with the original crown and chronograph pushers is in very fine condition, with a polished face and sides and only light overall wear. The left side of the watch has two quick-set pushers, the upper pusher is for setting the date, the lower pusher for setting the moonphase. The extraordinary lugs make the watch really stand out with a sophisticated design. The stainless steel case back is in fine condition with the inscription “Ed. Heuer & Cie, Switzerland” centrally. The case does not appear to ever have been polished.

The watch comes on an after market leather strap of good quality with the original Heuer gold plated buckle in fair condition, showing some wear and flaking of the gold plating.

Inside the watch, Lemania’s legendary 1883 movement beats strongly and accurately to within about +-10 seconds per day. The watch was fully serviced in August 2026 and comes with a 12 month warranty on its proper mechanical functioning.

This was the last watch Heuer & Cie ever made before merging with Tag to become Tag Heuer, and what a way to end the standalone Heuer brand! This is a very stately watch with a lot of history to it, made to celebrate the 125^th anniversary of the company and paying homage to Edouard Heuer, the founder. This is a watch that not only looks fantastic on the wrist, it will add to any collection and can be passed on to the next generation.

Our watches are delivered in a luxury wooden watch box, fully serviced with a 12 month warranty that covers the mechanical functioning of the watch under normal use. We offer 14 days full return rights and are very proud of our reputation for outstanding customer satisfaction.

NB! Note that we are based in Switzerland and that the buyer is responsible for any import fees their country may impose on a purchase from abroad. Ask us if you have any questions.
