Links to online auctions and other sites: Links to online auctions, dealer sites or other listings of items are permitted, but you should be careful to ensure that such listings will comply with our other ChronoTrader Policies. In addition, we request that sellers linking to online auctions or listings offer some benefit or accomodation to ChronoTrader readers (for example, some discount or an undertaking to end an auction early, to keep a watch "in the family").

Eska Carrera 73453

Steel case, 38 mm wide, 20 mm lugs. The case has probably been polished in the past. Remains of the “Heuer Leonidas SA” signature can still be seen on the inside of the caseback, the outside has a couple of scratches. Serial and reference numbers are visible between the lugs. Fully functional fluted pushers but the caps can be turned. Crown has probably been replaced. The plastic crystal has a small crack at 6.

Silver/champagne dial with patina, it is a little scratched and stained, mainly between 11 and 2. The sub dials and the tachymeter scale are faded grey.

Valjoux 7734 movement, running and keeping time. Chronograph hands start, stop and reset. Date shifts.

Sold head only. (The GF bracelet is not for sale)

Price 900 Euro. The watch is in EU, worldwide shipping possible. Several references from OTD/Chronotrader available.















Eska is probably best known for their gold watches with enamel dial that sell for approx $20.000.
