Heuer launched the Camaro in 1968, the year before the Chronomatic was fitted into its other lines the following year. As something of an outlier when compared to the automatic chronographs Heuer also offered at the time, the Camaro lived very much in the shadows. It had one of the shortest production runs of all the models, only a few short years, which led to its relative rarity today.
While the Heuer Camaro was produced in numerous configurations, many collectors are drawn to the symmetry of the two register variants. This one is a Reference 9220 NT (N for noir, or black, and T for the tachymeter track on the outer rim of the dial). Featuring two sub registers–a running seconds at 9:00 and a 45-minute counter at 3:00–the dial of the 9220 is minimalist without being sterile, and hearkens to gauges on a vintage dashboard.
