Chess Clock - Heuer - Vintage Plastic

On offer is a highly collectible, vintage Heuer "Chess Master" mechanical chess clock, Reference 730, dating from the late 1970s / early 1980s. This model represents a legendary crossover piece actively sought after by both vintage Heuer watch enthusiasts and historical chess equipment collectors. Key Specifications & Features: - Brand: Heuer - Model: Chess Master (Ref. 730) - Movement: Premium analog mechanical movement manufactured by Jerger in West Germany (authenticated by the Jerger shield logo and "Germany" mold stamp on the backplate). - Case: Elegant dual-dial layout housed in a black shatterproof perimeter casing with a brushed metal front plate. - Components: Pristine polished metal top plungers, original winding keys, time setters, and micro-rate regulators intact. - Features: Integrated high-visibility red minute-flags for precise blitz and tournament countdown verification. Condition: - Casing/Face: Excellent vintage condition. The silver front face plate, dials, and plastic body show minimal, clear signs of age-appropriate handling. The only slight flaw on the silver plate is the minor print irregularity or slight ink void on the top and left leg of the letter "R" of HEUER (see photo). - Box: Includes the rare, highly desirable original red presentation box insert package. - Functionality: Fully operational: Both movements wind smoothly, tickers run quietly, and the plunger mechanism shifts cleanly between players. Please examine the photo's carefully as they constitute part of the description.
