Introduced in 1963, the Carrera reference 2447 is one of Heuer’s most iconic designs. Over the course of production, a variety of dials were available; panda, reverse panda, with or without tachymeter scale. The size of subdials and shape of hour markers also changed. The present watch bearing a 78xxx serial number belongs to the so-called later first execution with standard case back (or slotted) and black dial with black registers. It has been seen in the Heuer catalogues in 1966-1967, only 3 years after the launch of the first Carrera chronograph. The engraved “EWD” on the movement means that the watch was imported into the U.S. market and most probably sold.
