More information
Heuer Carrera 3647S, also known as the Carrera 45, is a classic chronograph introduced during the 1960s. Since its release, it has become a highly sought-after model among collectors and motorsport enthusiasts. It belongs to the first generation of Carrera chronographs, launched by Jack Heuer at the Basel Fair in 1963, inspired by the legendary car race Carrera Panamericana.
The Carrera 3647S embodies Jack Heuer’s vision of a clean, easy-to-read chronograph without unnecessary details. By eliminating the external bezel and using a tension ring for the scale, the dial was designed with exceptional clarity.
