Specialist note

Introduced in 1969, the Heuer calibre 11 was one of the very first automatic chronograph movements to come to market, alongside the Seiko 6139 and Zenith El Primero. This handsome Carrera references 1153 contains the improved calibre 12 and features an attractively aged dial, changing the usual silvered finish to an attractive light champagne. It also comes with iconic Gay Frères beads-of-rice bracelet with correct HLC endlinks.
