Heuer began to produce its tide indication chronographs in the 1950s for a retܫailer of outdoor and camping equipment. Originally marketed as the "Seafarer," Solunagraphs specifically appealed to adventurers and outdoors men due to the register displaying tide indications on the dial. This complication is based on John Alden Knight's "solunar theory," which suggests that fisherman, huntsmen and sailors could determine the best dates and times to hunt and fish based on tide patternꦍs.
The outdoor retailer Orvis commissioned Heuer to produce their own model of the Seafarer. While the model previously had been marketed under other names, Heuer specifically marke📖ted models retailed by Orvis as t🐽he Solunagraph. The Solunagraphs are double signed on the dial by both Orvis and Heuer.
