In 1964, the brand merged with Heuer to form Heuer-Leonidas—combining forces and expanding their presence in the world of aviation and military chronographs. This partnership would go on to produce icons like the Carrera and Autavia, and play a role in the development of the groundbreaking Calibre 11 automatic chronograph in 1969.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-renderer-start-pos=\"164\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-renderer-start-pos=\"663\"\u003eThis example takes us back to the 1940s—a proper oversized chronograph at 39mm, and one that immediately stands out.

Bold Arabic numerals, a snail track, and an outer telemeter scale—used to measure distance based on the time between a visible event and the sound reaching you, often associated with artillery use.
