Lot Essay

Launched in 1968, the Camaro was named after the iconic American muscle car, the Chevrolet Camaro. The Ref. 7220 was the longest-running Camaro model and was produced right up until 1972 when Heuer started to focus on the automatic chronograph models.

Unlike the Carrera, the Camaro had a more masculine, cushion-shaped case that was 37-mm-wide. Legend has it that Jack Heuer named the Camaro after the famous muscle car in a move to align the brand with motorsport in the United States. After all, the Camaro Super Sport was the official pace car of the Indianapolis 500 from 1967 to 1969.

The present set of three watches, the property of a Dubai-based collector, was temporarily loaned to the Heuer museum. The three watches were serviced by TAG Heuer's vintage maintenance service centre and is now being offered as a collectible set for the first time.
