This Carrera owes its collector's value above all to its legendary movement. Caliber 11 was one of the first self-winding chronograph movements in the history of watchmaking. Reference 1153 was only produced for a short period between 1969 and 1974, which further emphasizes its rarity.
As a true racing chronograph, the Heuer Carrera was designed for professional racing drivers and sports car enthusiasts. It is therefore no surprise that it is still highly sought after by motorsport fans today.
Its high-contrast look is particularly appealing: the gray sub-dials, the tachymeter scale on the silver dial and the wide hour markers with black inlays create a dynamic aesthetic. The striking orange chronograph hand adds a sporty accent, while the date window at 6 o'clock completes the harmonious symmetry of the dial.
In our opinion, the automatic Carrera is one of the best vintage watches for everyday use. Its 38 mm case fits snugly on the wrist, is lightweight and comfortable to wear - a stylish, timeless watch with real character.
