Before Abercrombie & Fitch was the “middle of the mall store” as Jeff Stein coined it, the company was the preeminent destination for outdoor sporting apparel. Among the high-quality goods you would expect to find were the incredible sports watches by Heuer. The most desirable models from the retailer would be the Seafarer.

The later version had more of a Tiffany blue color in the minute register and the tidal register was both that Tiffany blue color and yellow rather than graduated colors. All of these early Seafarer models are extremely rare.
The watch features a Valjoux 72 movement which was modified to incorporate a tide complication. The case appears to be unpolished. I This Seafarer has a steel case and measures in at 38mm wide. The dial has a nice warm patina.
The watch does not come with papers. It does come with a box.
