Heuer Carrera Dato 12 ref 3147N 1st generation

The Heuer Carrera has long been recognised as a design classic and a watch that has a place in most collections so its always nice to find an example that adds that little extra and, in this case, not only do, we have the first execution of the 3147 which is hard to find in itself but with the added bonus of an original Fab. Suisse dial we are stepping up another level all together. The Fab, Suisse text indicates that this watch was sold into the French market as this was a demand of French customs during the fifties and sixties and they are very seldom seen. The keen eyed will also have noticed that the stunning dial has also aged to a nice tropical brown which changes again in natural sunlight.

The first execution Dato has the unusual dial layout of the date window in the 12oclock position, the date shown correctly in red on a white background.

The 36mm stainless steel case is finished with attractive turned lugs and comes fitted to simple quality suede finish brown strap.

The Manual wind Landeron 189 movement has been recently serviced, keeps perfect time and all functions perform as they should and as with all our pieces comes with a full 12 months guarantee.

This piece is in stock and ready for worldwide shipping.
