The 39mm case shows hairline scratches from honest wear over roughly five decades, with no deeper marks noted. The case serial number has been scratched and is no longer fully legible.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDial and Hands\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe dial has formed an attractive tropical patina, the warm shift in tone produced by years of exposure to sunlight. It develops differently on every watch, giving this example a face that is entirely its own. The hands show light oxidation, which sits comfortably alongside the patina of the dial.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUse Advisory\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis Carrera is around 50 years old and should be treated as a vintage timepiece. We recommend keeping it away from water, sharp knocks and strong magnetic fields, and wearing it with the care a watch of this age deserves.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Crown Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67712580256023,"sku":"Heuer Carrera 1553 'Tropical' 39mm Circa 1970s","price":6490.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/8670\/3383\/files\/Heuer-Carrera-1553-Tropical-39mm-Circa-1970s-1.jpg?v=1791419558","url":"https:\/\/crownvintage.com.au\/products\/heuer-carrera-1553-tropical-39mm-circa-1970s","provider":"Crown Vintage Watches","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
