The Monaco model line included automatic and hand-wound versions. With
the classy three registers, the deletion of the date, the hand-wound models
offer a striking dial design. An important running second hand at 9 o'clock
was added for the racing crowd. The Monaco with the reference 73633 B
was first shown in the 1970/71 Heuer catalogue. Powered by the Valjoux 7736
movements, the blue dial version had the reference number 73633B.
Serial and reference numbers are engraved between the lugs and Heuer Tool No.033
is marked on the case back. The 73633 manual wind case has the same
dimensions as the automatic Monaco however the crown is back at
its classic position between the fluted chronograph pushers.
This watch has its original blue dial with the contrasting white sub-dials and
the case back shows all the original and untouched brushed finish. The red
Heuer factory sticker is still present and the original crown and pushers are
unmarked. The Heuer black racing strap has a Heuer signed buckle.
It comes with reference matching red chequered flag Heuer box. This as new unique set, is a sought after example for the Monaco collector.
