This thread is much appreciated. While I loved the advance to the moon as a kid in the '60s I actually admire the Speedmaster's racing heritage most of all.

They are a very cool set of pics. Thanks for that.

I saw the pic of the chap with the Speedie talking to Jochen Rindt, who was also famous for wearing the lovely Heuer Autavia chrono, another creditable motorsport time piece.

How about this: James Hunt and Mike Hailwood share a moment, as the latter sports his custom Heuer Autavia gifted to him by Jack Heuer himself.

Jeah, Enicar was a player in the beginning and mid sixties in Formular one. Besides Jim Clark ( I wrote on that topic here: https://enicar101.com/2021/11/19/the-correct-reference-of-jim-clarks-sherpa-graph/ ) I also have seen Phil Hill, Innes Ireland and Gerhard Mitter wearing a Sherpa Graph:

Phil Hill:


Innes Ireland:


Gerhard Mitter:




And to have something Omega related: Omega advertisement at British GP 1969 and an Ed White on the wrist of Piers Courage,1969 N眉rburgring.
