Vintage 41mm Heuer Pasadena Mark II (750.501)
The Heuer Pasadena is a notable chronograph wristwatch introduced in the late 1970s, during a transitional period for the brand before its acquisition by TAG in 1985. Launched around 1978, the Pasadena was part of Heuer’s effort to appeal to a more modern and sport-oriented audience, reflecting the design trends of the era with its bold, barrel-shaped case and all-black PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) coating. It was powered by the automatic Calibre 12 chronograph movement, a continuation of the pioneering Calibre 11 family developed in collaboration with Breitling, Buren, and Dubois Dépraz.
The Pasadena stood out for its military-inspired aesthetic and stealthy presence, aligning it with the style of the Porsche Design Orfina chronographs worn by U.S. Air Force pilots. Though not produced in large numbers, it has gained a cult following in the vintage watch community for its distinctive design, reliable movement, and place in Heuer’s pre-TAG legacy.
