Heuer Carrera Chronograph 73655 CH Second Execution
Heuer Carrera Chronograph 73655 CH Second Execution
We’re big fans of vintage Carrera’s here at WV HQ, and this particular version is known as the 73655 CH. Offered in two variations within the space of a few years, this particular piece is known as the ‘Second Execution’, with slightly wider markers and 1-12 for the hour scale on the Chrono register.
The super-cool and very 70’s tonneau-shaped case is made of steel, and plated in yellow gold. These are often well worn, but this example is extremely fresh with the plating appearing very uniform and showing little wear. There’s a few small dings etc as you’d expect of a 50 year old watch, but overall very clean indeed.
The original dial is resplendent in its matching gold-tone, and is also in superb condition. Tritium plots are all present, though some show more degradation than others. Couple of scratches and surface marks around the markers but overall excellent condition. Original hands are present and also in wonderful condition.
Powering it is a manual-wind Valjoux 7736, which was serviced in May 2021 and is very clean. Running beautifully at around +7 secs per day, with the chrono starting, stopping and resetting as it should.
It’s mounted to an aftermarket leather racing strap with gold tone buckle.
Please see images for full condition details.
Comes with Watch Vault cleaning cloth and travel case.
This is an absolutely spectacular example of an increasingly sought-after vintage Heuer. They don’t come much better.
