Carrera Re-Issue (Black) with Lemania *LINK*


Since some of our readers seem to be looking for these, here is a chronograph currently listed in the TimeZone Sales Corner. The seller's description is below the photo; the link will take you to the listing. I do not know the seller, and have no financial interest in any transaction.


Used but excellent condition absolutely stunning re-issue of the classic 1950's Heuer Carrera chronograph. An homage to the Carrera Panamericana road race in Mexico, it is made with today's high technology standards, but using the older and one of the best designed watches ever made. It is not too big or too small, circular, no crown shoulders to throw it off balance, long angular converging lugs, polished stainless steel, and brushed stainless steel case back, easy to wind large crown, extended two tier and comfortably operated pushers. These features make it a true statement of what a watch case should really look like. Likewise the dial is perfectly balanced and symmetrical in design. It has three sunken registers with concentric pattern, but not interfering with the chronograph calibration marks, silver applied baton markers and hands to match the case, beautifully offset by a brilliant Black dial. Large Heuer logo on the dial, crown and buckle and very large logo on the case back. Heuer perforated high quality leather strap and serial number on the back. The movement is the venerable and very rare manual winding Lemania 1873 (movement also used in the classic Omega Speedmaster), with 18 jewels, 21,600 bph, monometallic balance, Nivarox spring and a power reserve 50 hours. Two things that make this watch a collectors classic is that the Logo says "Heuer" which were re-issued for about 9 months. It also has the manual winding Lemania 1873 movement rather than the automatic Valjoux. The Lemania is rarer, more desirable and collectable. Dimensions are: width is 35 mm excluding crown and 38 mm including crown, lug to lug is 44 mm, Thickness is 13 mm. Includes original box, case and manual.
List was $2,520. Asking $1,280.
