Muut tiedot
A rare Heuer chronograph from the pre-Carrera era, the Heuer Ref. 2444N features a 36 mm steel case with elongated lugs, a screw-down caseback, and slim “spillino” pump pushers. Its glossy black dial with gilt printing and radium triangle markers offers striking contrast.
Inside ticks the legendary Valjoux 72, the chronograph movement also found in the early Rolex Daytona, widely regarded as one of the most important calibers of the 20th century.
