Introduction
First released during Baselworld in 1963, the Heuer Carrera was Jack Heuer’s answer to the market’s growing demand for pure motorsport-inspired chronographs. Having just taken the brand over in 1962, Jack wanted to put his own stamp on Heuer and, as such, sought for the Carrera to be a straightforward chronograph with a legible dial and intuitive design, a style of watchmaking that he preferred. As such, the Carrera was born and quickly became one of the most famous chronographs on the market. Today, it exists as one of the most legendary sports watches ever designed, and this Carrera Green is a beautiful marriage between its iconic design and modern tastes. Featuring a heavily domed sapphire crystal and a beautifully polished 39mm stainless steel case, it is a thematically accurate rendition of the Carrera’s design language. Featuring a legible sunburst teal green dial with Heuer’s in-house cal. Heuer 02 movement under the bonnet and on display behind its exhibition caseback, it boasts everything you would expect from a modern chronograph. Paying direct homage to the Carrera ref. 2447, this offering was limited to just 500 pieces ensuring it is as rare as it is stunning.
