HEUER Carrera 45
Ref 3641N
Rare Vintage Chronograph
One of most beautiful and rarest vintage chronographs – Heuer Carrera 45, dated 1966-68 approx.
There isn’t much coverage of this particular Carrera model.
Heuer launched it back in 1960s as a cheaper alternative to s/s cased Carrera ref 3647, however not that many pieces were manufactured and this model became extremely rare. Its case is more simple and elegant than popular Carrera, and it’s definitely more beautiful.
Some pictures are available at OnTheDash website:

and its 1960s chronographs, 3641 section
What makes this watch even more special – it’s in MINT condition, almost NOS. Almost no scratches on the case & movement in crisp running condition. You can see that the watch hasn’t seen much use.
