Heuer

Ref. 2447 NST

Carrera 'Reverse Panda'

Heuer,非常罕有,不銹鋼鏈帶腕錶,配計時功能,“Carrera 'Reverse Panda'”,型號2447 NST,約1969年製

While some may discuss the Heuer Carrera in conversation with the Rolex Daytona (the Singer dial and Valjoux movement usually being the topic of choice), the Heuer Carrera is an incredible watch in its own right. The name originates from the "Carrera Panamericana", a highly dangerous and thrilling car race which takes place in Mexico. At the time of inception, Jack Heuer's main goal was to create absolute legibility when timing car races.

The present watch, playfully dubbed 'reverse panda' due to its black dial and white registers, features the rare tachymeter ring to the dial. The reference is thus 2447 NST. The watch is furthermore accompanied with a rice grain Gay Frères Heuer bracelet, stamped for the third quarter of 1969.
