Unknown Heuer. Help needed

Gaz6263 · Jan 22, 2016

I was at my watch repairers and he showed me a vintage Heuer he's restoring. As I'm more of a contributor on the Omega forum this isn't a watch I'm familiar with. Can anyone give me a little more information?
I apologise in advance for the poor quality pictures.

Hi. This is a Carrera 12 Dato from the late 1960s.

They're a little unusual as while they are called Carreras, they don't use a Carrera case. Nevertheless, it's a beautiful watch...grab it if you can!

Thanks for the help. Do you think the dial is original? Some I've shown the pictures to have suggested it's a redial.
I've done some research and only seen them with white date windows, are the black ones on this watch correct in your opinion.
