About this watch

Heuer Carrera 1553 'Tropical' 39mm Circa 1970s Dial and Hands The dial has formed an attractive tropical patina, the warm shift in tone produced by years of exposure to sunlight. It develops differently on every watch, giving this example a face that is entirely its own. The hands show light oxidation, which sits comfortably alongside the patina of the dial. Use Advisory This Carrera is around 50 years old and should be treated as a vintage timepiece. We recommend keeping it away from water, sharp knocks and strong magnetic fields, and wearing it with the care a watch of this age deserves.
