NOTES:
The Carrera chronograph, designed by Jack Heuer, was introduced in 1964. It was named after the Carrera Panamericana road race in Mexico. The model was also discontinued after Jack’s departure from the company in the early 80’s. The Carrera was designed to be legible and easy to read. The tachymeter was moved to a ring outside the dial to give it a simple and clean design. This chronograph was designed for car racing and became one of the most iconic models for the brand proven by its re-edition in 1996 and continued success since.
This re-edition, based off the original Carrera 2447, is considered to be one of the best exections among Heuers and tritium was still around in 1996 making this an even rarer collectible.
