Heuer pre-Carrera Chronographs ref. 3336
Two days ago, India Whiskey Charlie kindly pointed us to Denis Peshkov's great article for Monochrome tracing The History of the Heuer and TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph.
Among the watches featured in this article, the pre-Carrera reference 3336 really stood out for me, with its bicompax layout, and I was surprised to see that it seems to have never been highlighted on our site.
So, here are a few examples of this lovely reference: I'm curious to know if you like them too.

Yes, the blue scale is wonderful and the photos are great.
But I prefer the first one with larger subdials and triangular radium indexes.
The decimal scale is a fun historical artifact…
From the time and motion studies era, where computing power was too low and one transformed minutes into 100 parts for easier calculation 😁
