Excellent Jeff, glad you confirmed it!!... the archive footage isn't great, but I was sure it was a Heuer shield... thanks for confirming it. Pretty astonishing really, they had all that computing power in front of them, but Charlie Duke used a Heuer mechanical stopwatch to guide the first Moon landing, pretty big news really. 60 million people heard Duke call out the timings at 60 seconds and 30 seconds (the amount of fuel left). Amazing!!!!

I can't wait to read what you've got!!. From the split second it was on screen (I freeze framed it), I'm guessing it is a 1/5 sec, two button, 60 minute version. Whichever model it is, it's very exciting!!!!!!!!

Cheers

: 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!!
