Carrera 45

An attractive and rare, vintage wrist chronograph with 45 min. counter and 1/5 seconds division

The Heuer Carrera dating from 1963 was originally launched with two or three subsidiary dials, depending on the calibre inside. It is still one of the most sought-after vintage Heuer chronographs; with the slim bezel and the boldly slanted lugs the 36 mm case appears much larger on the wrist than it actually is.
This timepiece is in worn but good condition, with slight signs of ageing; the dial is more or less immaculate with patinated luminous material in the hands and the luminous dots on the hour markers.

The mechanical hand-wound chronographs of the Carrera model series were characterised by a clear appearance with easy-to-read stop times.
