Heuer Carrera Ref. 3147N Dato 45 Jordanian Air Force

The Heuer Carrera is one of the legendary chronograph designs of the 20th century. The reference 3147 was the first Heuer Carrera with date and this is a 3147N with the N meaning “Noir” indicating a black dial. The movement is a Landeron 148 with date and the case back is thicker on these to accommodate the thicker movement with the date.

This example is made special by the caseback engraving, which has been associated with Carreras ordered by the Jordanian Air Force in the past. The watch has a engraved serial number, which is only partially visible. The case appears polished. 

The case diameter is 36mm with a lug width of 18mm. The case has been polished.

You can read more about the origins of the Carrera in the in-depth article that I wrote back in 2013.

We do not know the service history, but the watch is running well. It does not come with a box or papers.

PRICE: $7,900 (Item SBUXYT5323)
