Today a pre-TAG brand Heuer Jacky Ickx Easy-Rider Chronograph Leonidas

http://dk2dv4ezy246u.cloudfront.net/share/6sVDBpiarB.watch (edited to remove the heavy shadow seen in the screen shot and added dim).

And some history......

LEONIDAS was founded in 1841, some 120 years later it merged with Heuer creating the largest manufacturer of stopwatches and chronographs in Switzerland, and established Heuer-Leonidas as one of the biggest and most influential watch brands in the world.

During the 80's the company came under increasing pressure to compete with the influx of cheaper quartz models from China. The brand's reluctance to compromise quality over price saw Heuer-Leonidas become Tag-Heuer with Leonidas falling by the wayside.
