Beginning in the 1940s, Heuer began making watches branded for sale by Abercrombie & Fitch in New York. At that time, Abercrombie & Fitch was an elite outfitter of sporting goods. Two of the proprietary models Heuer produced for Abercrombie & Fitch were the Solunar and the Seafarer, which tracked the tide and time that fish and animals were most active based on the solunar theory. The solunar theory posited that the movement of animals and fish was affected by the location of the Moon. The Seafarer model also incorporated a chronograph function.
First housed in a Carrera case, the Seafarer was moved to an Autavia case beginning of the 60’s. The present 2446C execution was completely different from the Carrera model, featuring a rotating minutes/hours bezel that allowed to calculate a time apart from the chronograph. This model also featured its first dark grey metallic dial and steel baton hands.
The Abercrombie & Fitch Seafarer is a watch that continues to increase in interest and desirability with collectors around the world. The present example is offered in pristine and excellent condition and has a beautiful and even patina. This attractive example of a late Seafarer will highlight any thoughtful Heuer collection.
