Vintage Heuer Carrera 2447 S for sale

Description ▲

The first-generation Heuer Carrera, also known as the manual-wound Carrera, is one of the absolute icons of any serious vintage collection. This exceptionally well-preserved example dates back to the 1960s and embodies the pure essence of the classic chronograph.

Introduced in the early 1960s, the Carrera set new standards with its clean, well-structured dial and modern design. Inside beats the legendary hand-wound Valjoux 72 caliber, renowned for its reliability and precision. With the introduction of the automatic Caliber 11 in 1969, the era of hand-wound Carreras came to an end – making the first-generation models highly sought-after pieces among collectors today.

Highlights of this reference 2447S: clean and exceptionally preserved dial with three sub-dials, case with sharp edges and intact lugs, perfectly functioning Valjoux 72 – chronograph functions (start, stop, reset) operate flawlessly.

An excellent example of the first Carrera generation, deserving a firm place in any significant collection, both historically and aesthetically.
