Named after the Chevrolet Camaro, an American muscle car of the 1960s, it was used as the pace car at the Indy 500 in 1967 and 1969, establishing the Heure brand in the US market. The Heuer Camaro had a short production run, ending in 1972. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFeaturing a 37mm brushed and polished stainless steel compact cushion case that sits comfortably on your wrist with short, straight, flat-ended lugs. Its polished, chamfered edge leads to a lug-to-lug length of 44mm and a case thickness of 12.5mm, giving the watch an impressive wrist presence. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOn the right side, we have the deep-knurled pushers and a signed crown in the centre. The radially brushed bezel holds a domed crystal above a silver dial. An outer Tachymeter scale sits above a precisely executed minute track, with applied baton indexes marking the hours and Tritium pips. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAt 3 o’clock, a recessed 30-minute register; at 6 o’clock, a recessed 12-hour register, and finally at 9 o’clock, a recessed running seconds register, each clearly marked with a white stick hand. Steel hands are filled with Tritium and complemented by a white tapered chronograph hand. At noon, the Camaro Heuer motif completes this distinctive chronograph. On the reverse, a solid screw-down case back. Inside a manually wound Valjoux Cal. 72, 17 jewels, beating at a leisurely 18,000 beats per hour. First introduced in 1938, this column-wheel movement was more robust than earlier Valjoux movements, such as the 22.
