Heuer, Swiss, "Carrera", Case No. 104774, Ref. 2447S, Cal. Val. 72, 36 mm, circa 1970
A very attractive vintage wrist chronograph with tachy scale

Heuer launched the Carrera chronograph in 1963; the model was available in approximately 110 variations until the 1980s. The Carrera featured more variations than any other Heuer timepiece – such as manual wind, automatic or quartz movement, gold or stainless steel cases, with or without chronograph indication…
The Carrera reference 2447S (where "S" stands for "silver dial") will always be one of the most coveted vintage Heuer chronographs. This timepiece has a beautiful silver-coloured dial with sunk, eggshell-coloured subsidiary dials. The outer ring features a scale with 1/5 increments – it is a rare and truly unique collector’s piece.
