Stewart,
Here it is, Graham Hill wearing an Autavia.

: Well, I think it differentiates that early model from the regular
: Viceroy. Also, it's only human nature to connect these wonderful
: watches with respected / cool people. I'm sure if some historic
: a**ehole wore a Heuer you wouldn't use their name in connection
: to it.
: Yes, it causes problems, but I guess we have to live with it.
: The confusion, mis-information and intentional hood-winking will
: always exist where there's a buck to be made, whether they have
: a name of not, it's just that the name emphasises it.
: Knowing the ins & outs of Heuers is very complicated.
: Another thing, the Viceroy... surely it should be called the
: Parnelli-Jones Viceroy Racing Team Heuer Autavia. I've rarely
: seen this mentioned, yes it was a cigarette promo, but in
: conjunction with the Viceroy Racing Team, Heuer, and Parnelli
: Jones.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parnelli_Jones
: Just out of interest - I'm sure I saw Graham Hill wearing a black
: dialed Autavia in some archive footage...
: Stewart
