Leonidas stopwatch - pre-Heuer?

I have a 1/10 second, 30-minute stopwatch that is marked "Leonidas 7 jewels" on the face. It is in a Heuer box. The representation on the front of the box reads "Leonidas 7 jewel by Heuer." I am wondering if the stopwatch is not in its original box? Could it be a Leonidas before Heuer bought them out? Any light would be greatly appreciated!
