Suggestions for 70s rallyist watch

I have several Heuer Stopwatches that are of the right vintage to go with the 1969 Porsche 911 lightweight that is nearing completion. I'd like to buy a wristwatch that would fit both the time and spirit of the car.

What watch would a driver in the late 60s or early 70s who enjoyed long distance touring and rallying wear? It should be large enough to be easy to read, with an easy to read face.

With stopwatches rather than a Rallymaster pair, you can guess that budget is a consideration. Still as well as quality lower priced choices, I'd like to know what you would suggest even in more expensive watches.

Thanks in advance.

Alan
