This definitive new book is purely dedicated to the special screw back case first series Autavia chronograph that ran from 1962 until 1968. From the very first iteration with big subs and all lume hands until the final 4th execution GMT. Every reference in-between is covered in detail including the oddities such as the 1st execution red chronograph hands, GMT "service" dials and the early dials with Tritium in later cases. The book features some familiar watches but also a large new selection which have not been featured in print before. If you want an overview of all Autavia then the 1962-85 book covers the entire range (but not in this detail) however for the enthusiast who is only interested in the manual wind screw back series, this is the book for you. It contains the relevant official literature, advertisements and motorsports images to better paint the picture of this series, no stone has been left unturned. There are tables that relay the current data on serials, rarity, production estimates and the dating features that changed throughout the series. It is a comprehensive guide and an invaluable tool for all those that covet this special chronograph series and with the renowned watch photography of Paul Gavin it’s as beautiful as it is informative. If you thought you knew everything about this first series, you may find you probably didn't ! Published April 2023
