Signed Carrera, Heuer, Ref. 2447 Yachting, case no. 92'468, circa 1969

The Carrera 2447 S, is the first Heuer case with screw back construction. It is also the first model presenting silvered registers on a silvered dial. The present watch, known as 2447 Yachting, is essentially a standard 2447 S with the addition of three blue triangles on the minute register to assist the yachtsman with the 15 minute countdown to the start of a race (one of the features found on the A&F Seafarer and Heuer Mareograph). These Yachting Carrera’s are known to be very rare and to find one in such condition should delight any aficionados of rare vintage Heuer chronographs.
