At that time, a conglomerate of watch brands headlined by Hamilton, Heuer and Breitling created an automatic chronograph movement, the likes of which the world had never before seen. The top-secret work conducted at the hands of world-class engineers was dubbed Project 99. Under the direction of Heuer, Project 99 resulted in some of the era's best looking watches: the Monaco, the Autavia and of course, the Carrera. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThis particular Carrera, a Reference 1153S, is one of these watches.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eHoused in \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ea 39mm stainless steel barrel case with an acrylic crystal, a signed crown at 9:00, fluted pushers, and a polished bezel, it features a beautiful sunburst blue 'reverse panda' Tritium dial with applied indices, a white tachymeter rehaut, white subsidiary registers, a matching handset with an orange chronograph hand, a correct \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGay Freres stainless steel 'beads-of-rice' bracelet with a signed clasp, and\u003c\/span\u003e the famed Calibre 12 automatic winding chronograph movement within.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThese are wonderful timepieces that represent just about everything that we love about vintage, and Heuer.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIf you are looking for a quirky, functional, and endlessly charming vintage chronograph from one of the best names in the business, look no further.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Heuer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40220658204759,"sku":"40991377","price":5900.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0809\/1255\/files\/AS08615_40991377_HEUERCARRERA12AUTO_1153S-6.jpg?v=1691078423","url":"https:\/\/www.analogshift.com\/products\/heuer-carrera-automatic-as08615","provider":"Analog:Shift","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
