More Info
  • The History:

The Heuer brand was created in 1860 and specialized in stopwatches and chronographs. Their focus was on instruments used in sports, such as dashboard timers. However, the focus shifted for Heuer brands in the late 1950’s, early 1960’s, as the popularity of chronograph wristwatches was gaining momentum. In 1962, when Jack Heuer, a race car driver and motorsport enthusiast, became head of the company, he spearheaded the creation of the Carrera watch.

  • The Watch:

The Heuer Carrera Chronograph Ref 73353 features a 38mm stainless-steel tonneau-shaped case with an acrylic crystal. The silver-colored dial features a sunburst pattern, with reverse-panda black sub-dials at the 3 and 9 o’clock positions, applied hour markers with lume plots at the edges, a black tachymeter scale at the outer ring, lumed hour and minute hands, and a red chronograph hand. The Carrera 73353 is powered by a Valjoux 7733 movement.
