Carrera was born in 1964, inspired by Carrera Panamericana Mexico, a public road car race in Mexico. Porsche, a German automobile manufacturer, has a model with the same name, indicating that it was a very influential race. While the watch design at the time was conservative, Jack Heuer, president and inventor of the model, brought innovation to the industry. In addition to the high-precision chronograph mechanism, a stylish lug that extends from the case, a three-dimensionally shaped index, etc. finished the design without being bound by common sense. The chronograph with Caliber Heuer 01, which is the current core model, has been transformed into a beautifully shaped three-dimensional skeleton dial, unlike before.
