Amazing how similar (design-wise) that is to my Porsche Design chronograph:

Many chronographs from the 70s and 80s shared that similar design.

PD, Heuer, Meister Anker, Bulova and many many more.

All used the Valjoux 7750 movement as in Jason's or the Lemania 5100 as in Andy's PD

I’ve just acquired these wonderful Heuer Helmets which are available to purchase as a set or individually

They’ve become very collectible over the years worth the Lauda, Hunt and Regazzoni being some of the most sought after.

I've got the 4 pictured and the Hunt is with box.

Great items for the man cave!
