I'd been hoping to try the in-house movement (CH80) when they mothballed it two years ago, and it's finally back into production here as the Heuer 02. Great pusher feel as you would expect with a column wheel/vertical clutch, and timekeeping is dead on so far. There is too much rotor noise, but only if you're making an effort to twist it.
Dial and bi-directional bezel align nicely, and the date is centered and very unobtrusive. The case polishing is well done, but I might brush the tops of the lugs, to tone it down a bit. I recognize that's the style of the original Autavia case, but it has cool chamfered lugs that would look great with a little less bling. Overall, it's a fantastic watch, and I'm glad to have a Heuer back in the rotation.
