In 1949, Heuer developed the “Solunar” watch for Abercrombie & Fitch, incorporating a “lunar” dial that would allow sportsmen to determine the best times of the month and the best times of day to hunt and fish, based on the positions of the moon, and, in the case of fishing, the tides.

In 1950, Heuer added the “lunar” dial to one of its most rugged three-register chronographs to create the Abercrombie & Fitch “Seafarer”.
The Seafarer chronographs were produced from 1950 into the mid-1970s.
Features: Three-register chronographs with a tide dial on the left of the dial (at 9 o’clock), minute recorder at 3 o’clock and hour recorder at 6 o’clock) and a stainless steel case designed to be waterproof (round pushers and screw-back or compressor snap-back)
Beyond this short list of shared features, the Seafarers showed considerable variety in the use of different cases, dial colors, styles of hands and even movements.
the Seafarer moved to the Reference 2443 case, with power coming from a modified version of the Valjoux 72 movement, a 13 ligne movement. The first execution of this model had luminous (radium) Arabic numerals and dots for the hours; the second execution used gold for the numerals and other hour markers.
