So far, the Carrera Pan-American Mexico Race is still known to people and Heuer was inspired by it and therefore gave birth to the Carrera series and the first one met the public in 1963. So far to now it is over a half century. Today, we will going to talk about the Carrera Chronograph CAR2140.FC8145 which was fitted with its own movement Cal.1887.
The case of CAR2140.FC8145 was made of rose gold and was processed with polishing, bestowing it with bright color and extraordinary beauty. The case was designed in the workshop in Swiss which has advanced equipment. The case was punched and pressed and polished in a delicate way that could be calculated in micro. Heuer itself also said that their cases were definitely excellent. The case back and mirror are made of sapphire crystal and the who sapphire was cut and polished its edges.
The design of the dial was the first priority during making a watch. 18k rose gold were applied to hands and time indexes and were abrased to present a bring color. In addition, there are small dials in the center area. The small dial with golden hand are the chronograph, and indicate time while two black hands in the center of the dial make up the chronograph. Inside the bezel this is a tachometric scale to measure speed. CAL 1887 in the small dial also indicates that this watch introduced 1887 movement that Heuer is proud for and it represents Heuer's excellent performance in the movement.
Carrera series were derived from car racing. Therefore, a lot of designs serve the need for car race. Jack Heuer, from the beginning of Heuer, knew what anti-shock and a large mirror meant to racer, so it did not only designed the large case , but also make the case more reliable and solid. In addition, it must be fitted with a chronometer. aswisswatches
