One of the most beautiful vintage chronographs ever produced in my opinion, an exercise in restraint, less is more here. Perfect proportions too.
The iconic Carerra series of chronographs serviced as a benchmark for sports timers through the 1960s golden era.
The all matte black dial is sexy, almost stealthy in appearance, if Darth Vadar wore a watch, this would be it ! The pop off white and outer rehaut frame that beautiful dial with a lovely lemon pip lume and matching hands in excellent condition.
This is a very well preserved example, and not one you come acrosss often.
The watch has a 10 million serial range visible clearly between the lugs, as is the referernce 2447.
