The Heuer Regatta 134.603 is one of the last hits from the original Heuer-Leonidas SA. Starting with the Autavia case and Lemania 1345 movement, Heuer added a two-color yacht timer and finished the cases with one of three available colors of PVD. The present example is finished with the rare Pewter PVD and is in truly excellent condition with matching original bracelet. The pewter finish gives the watch a monochromatic tactical appearance.

Any reference to condition in a condition report will not include a full description of condition, and for example, may not specify all faults, alteration, adaptation, mechanical replacements or imperfections to the movement, case, or dial. Colors and shades may look different online or in printed materials than they look on physical inspection, and images may not clearly show the condition of a lot. Prospective buyers should inspect each lot in person and make their own evaluation of the lot. They must understand that any statement made by Fortuna Auction LLC ("Fortuna") is merely a subjective, qualified statement and does not constitute a representation, warranty, or assumption of liability by Fortuna.

Pre-owned watches, unless still in original packaging or never worn, will likely have some degree of wear and scratches. This should be expected for many of the watches offered in auction. Even if a watch is running and keeping time, bidders and buyers should expect that all movements will require maintenance. Fortuna recommends that all successful buyers promptly take their watches to a professional watchmaker for evaluation.
