Heuer Carrera 3647s, 1960s, first execution

Vintage Heuer Carrera Chronograph — A True Motorsport Icon

A stunning vintage Heuer Carrera chronograph — a timeless piece that perfectly captures the elegance and precision of classic Swiss watchmaking. This example features a beautiful silver sunburst dial with minimalist design cues that defined the golden age of racing chronographs. The twin sub-dials, clean applied hour markers, and slim baton hands exude understated sophistication, while the original Heuer shield logo proudly reflects the brand’s racing heritage.

The watch is housed in a polished stainless steel case with sharp lugs that retain their original geometry, complemented by a perforated black leather rally strap — a fitting nod to Heuer’s deep connection with motorsport. On the wrist, it feels both lightweight and purposeful, making it ideal for collectors and enthusiasts who appreciate the balance between form and function.

Heuer, long before becoming TAG Heuer, was synonymous with speed, precision, and endurance. During the 1960s and 1970s, Heuer chronographs became essential instruments for professional drivers and racing teams. Models like the Carrera, Monaco, and Autavia were named after legendary motorsport events and worn by champions of the era — making Heuer a true pioneer of timing in motorsport history.

This Carrera embodies that spirit. It’s not just a watch; it’s a tangible piece of racing heritage — a bridge between the world of horology and the adrenaline of the racetrack.
