- The Carrera was fitted with a very elegant stainless steel case, a clear and legible three-dimensional dial with raised indices and recessed sub counters. The 1/100 decimal division on edge of the dial in blue and contrasts nicely with the matt finish on the white dial.
This watch has a correct signed Heuer crown and original pushers. The Valjoux 72 movement shows the Heuer Leonidas signature on the bridge which dates the watch to after the merger from ED Heuer to Heuer Leonidas in late 1964.
