Heuer Camaro 7743 Charcoal Dial
rare classic - valjoux movement - distinctive design
SoldIn 1968, the Heuer Camaro was launched. The name of the watch comes from the Chevrolet Camaro sports car, which was the official safety car in the famous American car race "Indianapolis 500" from 1967 to 1969. Heuer chose this name to appeal to a new, young target group interested in motor sports. Production of the Heuer Camaro was discontinued after just four years. Today, the chronograph is highly appreciated by vintage collectors thanks to its unique design and robust Valjoux movement.
The dial of the Camaro here has an attractive dark brown hue and is called "charcoal" by vintage collectors. What makes the watch particularly rare is the condition of the dial, especially the luminous material. Every single tritium plot is 100% intact and the color matches that of the hands.
