Back in 1963, Jack Heuer created the watch in celebration of the famous Carrera Panamericana, considered to be the world\u2019s most dangerous automobile race.\u00a0The watch was designed as a tribute to the thrill-taking, speed-loving drivers who competed in the challenge.<\/p>\n Inspired by 1970s classics such as the ref. 2447 SN, the new watch features a 42mm steel case housing an off-white dial with black sub-dials at 3 and 9 o\u2019clock. Black hour markers and chapter ring and a small date window at 6 o\u2019clock complete the dial arrangement.<\/p>\n
