So, here we go: a more decent picture and some background on the Heuer Carrera ref. 2447 NST "Volvo"
So, the simple story is that Heuer presented one to two hands-ful of these special dial Carreras to the then Volvo Board of Directors. Then being around 1970/71.
The crazy thing is that the Heuer Shield had to make its way down to the 6 o'clock subdial - a bit of a loser place for a watch logo...….
As usual the relialbe work horse V72 is responsible in the engine room.
Cheers, HSTE
