The name Carrera originates from the ‘Carrera Panamerica’, a thrilling car race which takes place in Mexico. Jack Heuer’s main goal when creating the Carrera was to have something absolutely legible when timing car races. The present example is an extremely clean and easy to read chronograph from the early days of the Carrera.

The Carrera was one of Jack Heuer’s passion projects, its design spirit based on absolute dial legibility. An incredibly striking example, the present watch is also known as the ‘Reverse Panda’ due to its black dial and white registers. Featuring a tachymetre scale printed directly on the dial, the reference is named 2447 NST. Completely fresh to the market, the present watch has been lovingly preserved and consigned by a family member of the original owner. Despite being over 50 years of age, the case is retained in very original and crisp overall condition, and the dial even features its original hands.
