Heuer also had a Moon watch

Move over Omega, you may have been the wristwatch of choice, but it was a Heuer that got you there.

I'm just watching a re-run of 'James May on the Moon' and the archive footage at Houston, shows the astronaut Charlie Duke, who was CAP-COM (capsule communications), timing 'The Eagle' down onto the moon (timing the amount of fuel left) with a Heuer stopwatch for the first ever moon landing!!!

How cool is that, I'll try to get some photos!

Cheers
Stewart
