Head turning and very rare vintage Heuer Camaro 7220. The watch has been restored with great care. The case has been refinished according to original into a excellent condition. Movement has been fully disassembled (like we always do when servicing/restoring a watch) and restored to great condition by repairing each part by hand that had a need for repair, ensuring that the watch will be ticking trustfully once wound. The watch has been manufactured around 1968-1972 and has fluted pushers.
