Early 1960's Heuer Carrera 2448N – 18K Solid Gold Black Dial

Coming Soon! Heuer Carrera 2448N – 18K Gold Black Dial, 

A superb Heuer Carrera 2448N in solid 18K yellow gold, featuring an original matte black dial and classic three‑register chronograph layout from the golden age of the Carrera. This mid‑1960s example combines the elegant 36 mm gold case, faceted lugs, and clean dial design that made the early Carreras icons of understated motorsport style.

The 18K case carries correct Swiss 18K/0.750 hallmarks and Heuer‑Leonidas SA signature inside the back, confirming a true solid‑gold Heuer case rather than a later recase or conversion. The dial is original, with applied gold baton markers, matching gold hands, and the period CARRERA / HEUER shield at 12 o’clock. Inside beats Heuer’s trusted Valjoux 72‑family manual‑wind chronograph movement (the same base movement used in Rolex Daytonas of the period), delivering crisp column‑wheel actuation and proven reliability. The crown and pump pushers are original, preserving the watch’s factory character and feel.

Adding to its appeal, this Carrera was a bespoke presentation piece: the dial is factory dual‑signed with the name “E. G. Schaubert”, and the watch was presented by Sears, Roebuck & Company as a retirement gift to Everett G. Schaubert, a senior executive who handled the Goodyear Tire account and was involved with NASCAR in the 1960s. The presentation in 1967/68 aligns perfectly with the serial range and period of the reference, and this well‑documented story lends the watch notable corporate and motorsport provenance while also supporting the originality of the dial and its printing.
