TAG Heuer A Tribute to the Golden Age of Motorsports | Heuer Carrera 1553 | Watch Only, Fully Serviced Carrera 1553

The Heuer Carrera collection was launched in 1963 by Jack Heuer, inspired by the renowned "Carrera Panamericana" automobile race. The series was designed to offer racers a timepiece with clear, legible chronograph functionality, coupled with exceptional durability and accuracy.
This Heuer Carrera 1553 from the 1970s is highly sought after by collectors, thanks to its striking deep blue dial and the Carrera inscription at 9 o'clock. Its unique visual identity subtly nods to the iconic color scheme of Martini Racing, with delicate orange and blue accents that pay homage to the golden age of motorsport. Inside, it is powered by the automatic Calibre 15 chronograph movement, renowned for its robust construction and distinctive asymmetrical dial layout. The minute counter is at 3 o'clock, the small seconds at 10, and the date window at 6. The vibrant orange central seconds hand adds a bold, sporty touch to the design. Another rare highlight is the original Gay-Frères stainless steel bracelet, which is itself a collector's item—rare, high-quality, and highly sought after.
The overall condition of this Carrera 1553 is excellent, with minor paint loss on some parts of the dial. Considering that Heuer chronographs were once purely functional tools, the remarkable preservation of this timepiece is a true rarity. The movement has been fully serviced by our workshop, ensuring precise timekeeping and stable functionality. The watch comes with a one-year warranty from our workshop.
