			The Aquastar based Regate was discontinued in 1968 when Heuer introduced their own regatta watch: the Skipper. A normal chronograph with the minutes counter in a subdial, divided by colours in 3 times 5 minutes, showing the 15-minute regatta countdown. Until beginning of the 1980’s the Heuer Skipper is made in a variety of different models. At Henrik’s website www.heuerchrono.com there’s this comprehensively overview where the Skippers are divided in 8 different types. The first Skipper was housed in the 1960’s Carrera case with reference 2447, as all later versions were housed in the Autavia case with reference 7763 Compressor case. The first three versions run on a Valjoux 7730 movement, as the other versions have a modified Caliber 15 movement with the crown on the left side and the pushers on the right side.
