Heuer introduced the earliest Autavia wristwatches in the early 1960s, building on a motorsport history started by the first Autavia dashboard timers made in the 1930s. The wrist chronograph quickly became one of Heuers flagship products during a period of massive growth and success for the brand. Heuer was one of the most popular and best-selling watch brands in the world in the 1960s. Its ties to the world of motorsport were paying off as racing took off in popular culture, specifically in the United States, one of the firms strongest markets.
The Swiss race car driver Jo Siffert was sponsored by Heuer in 1969, and he wore an Autavia ref. 1163 on the track that featured a white dial, black sub-dials, and blue accents. These colors would become synonymous with Siffert and collectors now refer to this Autavia reference as being in the "Jo Siffert"-style. The Siffert Autavia is among the most collectible Autavias ever created and a favorite of Jerry Seinfeld who can be seen wearing his own bracelet during many episodes of his Netflix show, "Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee."
