Description
This is an early 1960s Valjoux 72 manual winding (pre-Carrera) vintage Heuer ref. 2445 chronograph gold-plated with steel back watch having serial 132xxx. The dual-signed Beyer dial is completely original (including the lume) and signed “Made In Switzerland” below 6:00. That is a crystal refraction in the lower register. The handset is also original with the lume updated at some time. The 36mm case is signed between the lower lugs and really displays very fine condition without brassing or major dings. The unsigned crown is original and correct to the watch. The Valjoux 72 movement is working perfectly and accurately. These watches are currently undervalued in my opinion, as they are much harder to find than the later Carreras.
