This Carrera is truly notable and unique. While Heuer is particularly legendary for its connection to automotive racing, as profiled in Arno Michael Haslinger’s “Heuer Chronographs” book, this watch is a visible and tangible sign of. Carreras are versatile watches, looking equally good worn to an important board meeting dressed in a suit or hanging out on a weekend in jeans and a t-shirt. I’ll confess that I am a bit biased as I own an early white-dial Carrera 12 reference 2447S, but I think that they are a great first vintage watch purchase. As a plus, the chronograph function can be a helpful complication, whether you are timing your steaks on the grill or a parking meter. There is a dedicated community of vintage Carrera collectors, but some watch buyers may be worried about the Carrera’s size, which is 36 mm in diameter. These Carreras actually wear larger than 36mm because of the large, angled lugs plus the added visual heft from the chronograph pushers, so one shouldn’t judge the Carrera before trying it on. In addition, the strap is 18mm, and many people (including me) find the 36 to 18 ratio to be particularly pleasing and proportional to the eye .
