I have some photos of this stopwatch, obtained from the very helpful NASA archivist . . . it is absolutely, witout a doubt a Heuer stopwatch.

I have been meaning to write an article about this stopwatch, and the challenge of timing the descent (from which we got the phrase, "The Eagle has Landed"), but you know how these projects go . . .

Thanks for bringing this to our attention!!

: down onto the moon (timing the amount of fuel left) with a Heuer
