Vintage Pre-Carrera Heuer Chrono

Recommended Posts

Hi All,

 

I just wanted to share a few shots of my latest purchase.

 

Recently I have been consumed by the vintage bug, voraciously learning as much as I can about the brands that have taken my interest. I have also started bidding in vintage watch auctions, unsuccessfully as yet but I'm sure I will land a nice piece soon.

 

I had planned to pick up a late 60's Breitling Top Time Chrono but after a fruitless search, I came across a rather stunning looking 1968 Heuer Pre Carrera & immediately fell in love.

 

As you can see it is in cracking condition and will be a nice addition to my growing collection, I do still plan to get the Top Time as soon as a nice black faced dial comes up in the correct condition.

 

I am really enjoying learning about quality vintage pieces but will continue to mix it up with reps & gens as I go.

That is beautiful... I really like some of the 'pre Tag'era Heuer watches.

 

What are the dimensions on it, and any idea on the movement?

 

 

Nice pics too, by the way... Enjoy it!

Hi Mate,

 

It's quite small (like most from this era circa 34-35mm case).

 

It has a beautiful Valjoux 7730 movement........

Now that is a gold watch that I would actually wear.  On a Bund strap, of course.  VERY nice pick up.
