I am not responsible for any customs delays or charges with International sale.The ref. 593 : a trackmate timerThe HEUER ref. 593 stopwatch belongs to “trackmate” range, launched few years after the trackmaster line. The manufacturer came back to classical metallic case for the trackmate, as he did with the trackmaster 8032 and 8037.Trackmate stopwatches were marketed from the late 70’s up to the early 80’s. They feature a robust 1 jewel pinlever movement (here a “Baumgartner Frères movements” 410).The name “Sportex” engraved in the 410 caliber and the inside of the case cover is a little bit unusual. Sportex belonged to Leonidas and used pin-lever movements. It was bought by HEUER-Leonidas in 1970, as it was still the property of Charles Jeanneret, the shareholder of Leonidas (. Sportex factory worked for HEUER-Leonidas but also produced stopwatches under its brand (and, when Leonidas was an indepedant compagny, wristwatches were marketed as Sportex ones.Reference593Full designationHEUER-LEONIDAS ref. 593 – TrackmateFunctionalitiesstart, stop and go on by crownreset by left pusher (locked when the timer is running)Recorder and register1/10em second recorder (long black hand makes one revolution in 30 seconds)small 0-15 minute register (small hand makes one revolution in 15 minutes)Circa1981Calibercal. 410pinlever escapement1 jewelsshockprotectedantimagneticIn the 1920’s, Heuer became very well known as the first watchmaker to break the barrier of 1/100 second accuracy in a mechanical watch, although they did not achieve this feat in a normal watch, but rather the Mikrograph stopwatch. After being the official timekeepers of 2 successful olympics, Heuer continued to make mechanical stopwatches even to the point on January 1st, 1986 when Tag took over the company to form the Tag Heuer brand we know today. In 1986, however, they were unsure of what to call the joined companies, so production continued with the original Heuer logo for a brief period before the Tag Heuer logo was created.
