About this watch

Band: Steel (Beads of Rice) Clasp: Steel (Deployant) Glass: Sapphire crystal Water Resistant: 10 Bar The Carrera Panamericana was a gruelling road race through Mexico's diverse terrain. It ran from 1950, and with unregulated speeds the death toll reached more than 30 before its cancellation in 1955. Not only did Jack Heuer name one of his chronographs after the hallowed race, but Porsche also named their Panamera and Carrera models after it. This version, a ref. CBS2210.BA0048 from 2026, combines modern machining techniques with a design reminiscent of the ref. 2447 from 1963. Its stainless-steel case measures 39mm in diameter, with a lug-to-lug of 46mm, a lug width of 20mm, and a depth of just 13.9mm. This is an impressive feat considering the calibre of the watch contains over 160 individual components. It is pressure resistant to 10 bar (100 metres).

The reverse panda dial features a tri-compax layout with silver azurage subdials: running seconds at six, a 12-hour totaliser at nine, and a 30-minute totaliser at three. The hour markers and hands are rhodium-plated and filled with phosphorescent Super-LumiNova, aiding low-light legibility. Unusually, there is a date aperture at twelve, retaining the symmetry of the dial. Protecting the dial is a scratch- and glare-resistant sapphire crystal, similar in profile to the domed plexi crystals of the originals. On many other famous chronographs the tachymeter sits on a bezel outside of the crystal. While a more typical design, an outside tachy changes the perceived size of the watch on the wrist. This Carrera, however, has…
