The Heuer Carerra is in our humble opinion the mac daddy of the 60s sports chronographs. With this reference 2447 example housing the valjoux 72 column wheel movement and inverted panda dial subdials.

The case measures 36mm excluding crown and has sharp defined lugs. The screwback case shows remnants of the original brushed finish.

The condition overall is up there with one of the best we have seen on the market, and this example is much less commonly seen in this variant.
