Heuer, Swiss, "Carrera" Automatic Chronograph, Case No. 321208, Ref. 110573, Cal. 12, 39 x 44 mm, circa 1974
A very attractive vintage automatic wristwatch chronograph with date
Case: steel, screw back, crown on the left. Dial: blue shimmering "fausses côtes" decor, tachy scale.
The colour scheme of this tonneau-shaped Carrera – launched on the market in 1974 - with its lustrous blue dial and the contrasting orange-coloured accents was devised to mirror the racing stripes on a car. The timepiece has one of the most attractive dials Heuer ever created. The satin-finished case is immaculate with sharply defined edges and Heuer’s cult calibre 12 with micro-rotor ensures precise and accurate running of the watch. A perfect collector’s piece likely to stand out even among the finest of its peers.
