@Jeff Stein has a great write up on the history of the Carrera Sunray DX.

Thanks for mentioning this, Mspeedster.

It was good fun talking to the Sunray DX team member who is selling this watch, and getting his story.

The movie was about Ford vs Ferrari, but growing up in the United States in the 1960s, it was really more about Ford vs. Chevy!! Ferraris were nice to look at in the magazines, but we didn't see them on the streets or in the parking lots.

I'm happy that people are enjoying the posting and learning this bit of Heuer history!!

Indeed. I'm more of a Ford guy myself, owning a Mustang and other Fords in my past. Jack was obviously in the Chevy camp, with the Camaro and Sunray DX. At least I can dream about that Shelby x Carrera. LOL

 

Cool video on the Sunray DX Vette and Carrera watch!
If I was a Corvette guy, I'd really be tempted to bid on it!

 

Definitely one of the coolest co-branded dials I've seen! Same here @Mspeedster.

Sotheby's is definitely pulling out all the stops on this Carrera!

 

Anyone here the winning bidder????

 

Aesthetically it is a very appealing co-branded dial

 

Brilliant article Jeff, I really enjoyed reading that.
