Heuer Carrera 110.573

A powerful witness to the era of the great racing chronographs: the Heuer Carrera Reference 110.573 marks the evolution of the Carrera design in the 1970s. With its striking brushed stainless steel case in the iconic ‘C-shape’ form, it embodies the transition from the classic elegance of the 60s to the functional aesthetics of the 70s. The dark grey dial features a fascinating, uniform ‘stardust’ patina that gives the watch a unique vintage aura. The bright orange chronograph hands not only ensure perfect readability, but also add the sporty accents that made Heuer famous on the world's racetracks.

The technical heart of the watch is the legendary automatic calibre 12. As the direct successor to the calibre 11 – one of the world's first automatic chronograph movements – it is characterised by the distinctive positioning of the crown on the left-hand side, while the pushers are located on the right. This arrangement is an unmistakable feature of the ‘Chronomatic’ era. Worn on a classic black leather strap with alligator embossing, this Carrera is an absolute must-have for collectors of authentic vintage watches. It is in authentic original condition with visible signs of wear on the case and glass, reflecting the history of this motorsport classic.
