In the shadow of such giants as Monaco, Carrera, and Autavia, the Heuer Camaro’s innovative spirit remains largely overlooked. For the serious collector, the Heuer Camaro checks all boxes by merit of its specifications alone. Yet for the modern enthusiast, this watch offers a contemporary flare that many vintage pieces do not. Criticisms of the Carrera arise through its modest 36mm diameter- while only 1mm larger, the Camaro’s square shape commands a greater, fleshed-out presence on the wrist. Sharing similar dials, hands and movements, the Camaro had all the simplicity of its predecessor, the Carrera. However, the Camaro’s major difference lies in its cushion-shaped case, boasting a polished grind on its concave sides to offer a grittier modern character. Much as the Camaro automobile was Chevrolet’s response to the wildly popular Ford Mustang, the Heuer Camaro offered a dynamic new spin on its elder sister. However, while the Chevy Camaro’s star would continue to rise, the Camaro wristwatch would be discontinued after only 4 years in 1972, eclipsed by Heuer’s bold new line of automatic chronographs. This Heuer Camaro example is made from stainless steel and features two subdials before a black dial, with a date function situated at 6 o’clock.
