History:
Best known for their chronographs from the 50s right up to the 80s,
Heuer was a
brand famous for their commitment to creating some of the
best motorsport and aviation-inspired timepieces on the market. With
collections like the Autavia, Monaco, Monza, Silverstone, Montreal,
Camaro and many many more under their belt, Heuer's credentials are
indisputable.While some of these collections are relatively well
known, few of them compare to the Carrera collection. Released in 1963,
the Carrera
was Jack Heuer's answer to the growing demand for pure
motorsport-inspired chronographs during that period. Like most watches
though, the Carrera wasn't an entirely original watch - it was inspired
by brand's chronographs that came before. On offer, I have a Heuer ref.
404, affectionately known today as the Pre-Carrera and known as one of
the watches that spawned the Carrera, one of the most iconic
chronographs ever. Released in 1959 and offered until the
mid-'60s, the ref. 404 is a rare watch to come across thanks to its
short period of production. Powered by the iconic Valjoux cal. 23
movement, the ref. 404 is as iconic on the inside as it is outside. Sold
in a variety of sizes and dial setups, the ref. 404 was instrumental in
cementing Heuer's position as a no-frills, high-quality watchmaker. In
addition to its gorgeously preserved silver dial, the example I have on
offer here comes with its original baby pushers – so-called for their
narrow profile.For security reason, sale with low profile ebayers wil be cancelledWorldwide delivery by UPS
