Probably hype. Not saying one was better than the other in quality or style, it was just the perception back then.
I just find it interesting from a historical perspective.
I don't know what the perception was in the '70s. I was too young, I only wanted that Heuer Helmet clock of Niki Lauda that I saw in a magazine. But my guess is that while everyone now perceives that era to be the height of Heuer, I doubt it was the "it" brand to have back then, not like TAG was in the '90s.
