NOTES:
The Carrera chronograph, designed by Jack Heuer, was introduced in 1963. 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-launch and success in recent years.

CONDITION REPORT:
Dial = 100% original, untouched, slight aging and luminous material darkened but original
Hands = Original Heuer service hands
Case = Polished once, but bottom edges and top off the lugs (edge between crystal and lug) still very sharp. So it was done professionally and we think by Heuer probably as would make sense for the hands also.
Movement & Date = Both the movement was serviced and the date was tested and adjusted.
