You can see the picture of Chris Hemsworth wearing the 1158 here:

Lauda wearing a blue Silverstone can be seen here:

The watches came from the TAG Heuer museum and they provided the watches for the movie. It seems that TAG just took two period correct watches and brought them to the set. We haven't seen Hunt wearing a 1158 to the best of my knowledge. Have we seen Lauda wearing a Silverstone? I don't think so, but let me know if I'm wrong.

Best regards,
Eric Wind
