Heuer Regate
Heuer Regate
In 1965 Heuer entered a partnership with Aquastar and began to distribute the full line of Aquastar watches, including the Aquastar Regate, the first real regatta yachttimer powered by the Felsa 4000N movement. Soon after that, the Heuer logo was added to the dial so the watches were co-branded with both names Aquastar and Heuer.
See the Aquastar Regate page for a more detailed description of The Heuer Regate
Heuer’s partnership with sailing teams started in 1967 when Heuer was the official timekeeper of the 12-metre class yacht Intrepid with skipper Emil Mosbacher, which would win the America’s Cup twice in 1967 and 1968. A special version of the Heuer/Aquastar Regate with the name Intrepid added to the dial, was given to the crew members.
In 1968 this model was replaced by the Heuer Skipper
