Notes

Known as the first version of the gold Carrera, it features the word Carrera above the Heuer logo and is characterised by black inlay in the indexes as well as at the base of the hands, and in addition, the chronograph hour-counter that was subdivided into 3 hour-sections. Made at the beginning of the production these were most certainly made in very few examples and remain one of the most collected gold Heuer ever made.
