Heuer Carrera Ref. 2447T

The Carrera was one of Jack Heuer’s most passionate projects, and his design ethos for this watch can be summed up in one word: legibility. Jack wanted a watch that was stylish and functional, a watch that gives you everything you need and nothing you don’t.

With a strong case and nearly flawless dial with silver-toned tachymeter ring with red printing, this is a beautiful piece and a rare find.
