1980 Heuer Trackmaster Stopwatch "Olympic Games Moscow" with cord
The ultra-rare 1980 Heuer Trackmaster Stopwatch "Olympic Games Moscow" is a historically significant timepiece that blends precision engineering with powerful geopolitical context. In 1980, Heuer was appointed the official timer of the Moscow Olympic Games, and instruments like the Trackmaster were commissioned for use across all timed sporting events. This particular model, featuring the official emblem of the 1980 Olympics, represents one of the last timers to bear only the Heuer logo—produced just five years before the brand’s acquisition by TAG in 1985.
What makes this stopwatch especially compelling is its connection to one of the most politically charged Olympic Games in history: 65 countries and regions, led by the United States, boycotted the event in protest of the 1979 Soviet-Afghan War. This Trackmaster is far more than a timekeeping tool—it is a rare artifact that captures a defining moment in both sports and global politics, making it a standout addition to any serious Heuer collection.
