Diver’s chronograph watches have been in Heuer’s product line for more than half a century. The present watch, reference 73463 Skipper, exemplifies the technological skills and fine artisanship which define the watchmaking company. Most impressively, the timepiece features a regatta chronograph, providing accurate timekeeping for yachtsmen to calculate the time that they can cross the starting line in sailing competitions.

The present watch is a very attractive example with a dark blue dial and bezel which pose a significant color contrast with the sharp orange hands. Giving the watch a very unusual and unique appearance, another significant feature of the Skipper is the red, white and blue 15-minute subsidiary dial. The Skipper model series remained successful and in production until the 1980s.
