Heuer Camaro 7843 S Dato Panda dial

Model Code: 7843

The 7843 reference Camaro had a short production from 1968, speculation is that only 1150 watches were produced with four dial variations. This Panda dial version is by far the most collectable and therefore rarest and most hard to find. The watch is in totally original, un polished with all original parts, .we have of course had the movement fully serviced. (This is only the 3rd example we have had to offer in the 22 years this site has been in existence!)

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.
