Good Information, Except Date is Approx. 1964
In Response To: Some info on Your Carrera dato 45 ()


good information, except that the Carrera was first introduced in 1964.

This is the second version of the Dato 45; first version had the date at the top, but the date window was blocked by the chrono second hand, when the chrono was set at zero, so they moved the date window to nine o'clock for the later production.

nice watch . . . thanks for your message and photos.
