Jack Heuer knew what link he wanted to name the watch even before it link had been designed. The high stakes and often deadly Carrera link Panamericana race in Mexico had left such an impression on Mr. Heuer that it only took a short year for a watch, named the Carerra in honor of the infamous race, to come to fruition in 1964.
It seems that a theme is becoming clear in today's Bring a Loupe, as here we have another aviation-related watch coming in hot. Contrasting link the rest, this one does not feature a highly functional 24-hour dial, or a handy chronograph function, but instead proved itself in the cockpit by way of its antimagnetic shielding, which link proved useful to Scandinavian Airlines Systems pilots who experienced these meddling link fields when flying over the North Pole.
You've got almost all the colors of the Flightmaster here (minus the green). The 145.013 had a chronograph link with 30-minute and 12-hour counters at 3 and 6 o'clock, plus a 24-hour subdial at 9 o'clock. That link seemed less useful link to pilots than a running second that reassured them that their watch was still running (that led to the next version of the Flightmaster without the 24-hour dial and running seconds at 9 o'clock).
