Original Description:
Up for auction is an original one owner wristwatch from the 1960's. This vintage,  manual winding, steel Heuer Carrera 12 Dato (Ref. 2547) watch has not been serviced but is fully functional, keeping perfect time and is in good vintage condition. This Dato has a silver-on-silver dial and it is guaranteed for authenticity.

...: border-box; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: "Bembo W01", serif; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">The Carrera 12 Dato is one of the most popular vintage chronographs. While it is referred to as a Carrera, it does not use the Carrera case but a unique design, to be opened from the front, after removing the crystal. Sized at 36mm wide x 43mm lug to lug x 13.5mm thick, the stainless steel case is clean in its design. It features long lugs, small round pump chronograph pushers and pushers at 8 and 10 o'clock, for changing the month, day and date. Interestingly, both the month and week-day functions can be set via the pusher at ten o'clock, by pressing it lightly for the month, and strongly for the day to change. The case-back is signed by Heuer-Leonidas. 

The watch is a three-register chronograph, with three sub-dials featuring the thirty-minute counter at three o’clock, the twelve-hour counter at six o’clock and a running seconds at nine o’clock. The sub-dials have black stick hands and concentric engraved circles, creating depth on the face. The unrestored, silver dial also features a painted blue circle for the day, shown with a white hand with a red crescent pointer. The day and month apertures are placed at twelve, under a solitary, applied Arabic "12". The original luminous material on the hands have aged to a creamy yellow, with the circular luminous hour markers matching in color. Applied, elongated steel index markers and a black, painted chronograph track finish off the look. Despite the numerous functions, the design is clean and very readable.

This Heuer Carrera 12 Dato is powered by the ever-reliable and widely-used Valjoux 72C column-wheel movement. This manual-winding chronograph caliber has been used in other watch models, such as the Rolex Daytona, as well as later Heuer models, including the Autavia. 
The watch was owned by a photographer who took great care of it. The original band is not present. It is currently on a stretch band with an addition (not functioning) calendar. Crystal does have light scuffs to surface seen with a loop. I have not polished the case so it has some dirt in the crevices. Marked 2547 (reference) on one end and 210745 (serial number) on the other.On May-15-19 at 21:30:29 PDT, seller added the following information:This is actualy a 723 movement not the 72c as stated in the description.
