I bought this Heuer decimal stopwatch at an antiques fair this morning. The reference number on the box looks like 574 but I’m thinking it might not be the original box. Would anyone on here know how old it is, or how I could find out?
Thanks.

Ref is correct
1957 catalogue here:

page 16 (click and click again to enlarge)



Seem to be different similar variations of it in production for a long time as it appears in other catalogues.
A cool collectable, and in great condition

It is an hour decimal, not a decimal. Very big difference. Decimals are useful in motorsport but hour decimals are specialised 'time and motion' study pieces.
