In the early 1960s, Jack Heuer created the Carrera line of chronograph timepieces, which was sold as a separate line of Heuer watches. Named after the legendary Carrera Panamerica Rally race, the watch was designed with the race car driver in mind. In 1996, Tag Heuer decided to produce a re-edition of the iconic 1964 Heuer Carrera. These re-edition watches are nearly identical to their predecessors, utilizing the same case size and styling.

The History:

Heuer brand was created in 1860 and specialized in stopwatches and chronographs. Their focus was on instruments used in sports, such as dashboard timers. However, the focus shifted for Heuer brands in the late 1950s, early 1960s, as the popularity of chronograph wristwatches was gaining momentum. In 1962, when Jack Heuer, a race car driver, and motorsport enthusiast, became head of the company, he spearheaded the creation of the Carrera watch.

The Watch:

Same as the original 1964 Heuer Carrera, the Heuer CS3110 has a 36mm stainless steel case, with an acrylic crystal, and beveled lugs. The CS3110 has a white dial with three white sub-dials and a blue scale. Powered by the manual-wind Lemania 1873 movement, the Carrera has a 40-hour power reserve.

The Details:

This Heuer CS3110 is in good condition. There are wear marks on the case and bezel, which are visible in the photos. This CS3110 has some marks on the front of all four lugs, as well as some slight scratches on the backside of the lugs, from strap changes. The acrylic crystal has some slight scratches, as well as a small nick to the right of the 1 o’clock position. This Heuer CS3110 has the correct buckle on the strap.
