Why This Watch Matters

This Heuer Camaro has a dial that is a beautiful, tropical, dark chocolate brown, and the tachymeter scale gives it a racing edge.

The Full Story

The Heuer Camaro is one of those chronographs from the 1960s that does not get the acclaim it deserves. This model, whose name is an ode to the famous Chevrolet sports car, remains the underdog of vintage Heuer chronographs, perhaps because of the short span of its production, or because of its less traditional square shape. However, it does not lack charm. The dial on this watch is absolutely stunning in the sunlight. This vintage Heuer should not remain overlooked for long.
