An original legendary chronograph Heuer Camaro 30 Dato ref. #73345 with a manually-wound Valjoux 7734 caliber movement.
Heuer launched the Camaro in 1968. Last seen in the 1972 catalog, the Camaro had one of the shortest production runs of all the models from the 60s and 70s, leading to their relative rarity today.
The watch comes in hard to find excellent condition including it's original silver-color dial with the date window by 6 o'clock. The chronograph retains its original pushers and signed winding crown, and looks gorgeous overall.
The chronograph is equipped with a reliable Valjoux 7734 caliber movement with date that has been just freshly serviced and overhauled and is excellent running and keeping time with all the functions: start, stop, reset to zero, date - working as it should.
No box or papers are coming with the watch, but its authenticity is guaranteed.
