Racers and their Autavias

Hello,

I have seen lots of pics with 60s and 70s motorsport racers with Heuer watches. Rindt, Bell, Andretti, Siffert... And everyone knows about the popular Heuer watches and some models even got named after the popular racers. But i have not yet seen and heard about a relationship between Heuer and Graham Hill...

Is it just a coincidence that he wore this Autavia due to the enormous popularity of the Heuers or was there a closer connection between Heuer and Hill (sponsoring/friendship)? Sorry if this topic has been discussed before but i didn't notice.

Here is a picture:

Maybe we should call it the Hill Autavia ;-)

Cheers,
Manuel
