Influenced by the 1970's trend for larger watches, a newly designed Carrera manual wind model was introduced in the 1970 catalogue. The watch shows a similar design as the 1969 launched Automatic Carrera Chronograph. It was powered by the new Valjoux 7736 movement. The pushers had a fluted design and were more integrated in the case and on the manual wind Carrera the crown remained on the right side. Larger minute and hour hands and a striking orange chronograph hand completed the new more colourful appearance.
