1970s Heuer Carrera 1153S First execution Cal.11

In 1963, Heuer introduced the Heuer Carrera, the chronograph that captures the romance and danger of racing. Jack Heuer borrowed the name from the Carrera Panamericana road race, a border-to-border race held in Mexico from 1950 to 1954. Suitable for track, sport or dress, the Heuer Carrera included models with triple calendars and cases in steel or gold.

Aesthetically speaking, this Carrera is a bold watch with serious design. The combination of its panda dial with its its tritium indexes and thin hands creates a special harmony, only altered by the bright orange central hand and the powerful angular lugs that convey a certain strength of character. It is dressed with its signed crown located on the left side of the case and two fluted chronograph pushers.

Mechanically speaking, this Carrera is driven by the calibre 11 with automatic winding. This caliber is known to be robust and precise.
