That cool watch Mick wore in the 70s

One of the first things I loved about Mick Jagger was his sartorial sense in the 70s...I could go on and on about those white bucks, cuffed slacks, hats etc.
But that watch! The one with the black band, blueish face and dial. I didn't know what Tag Heuer was when I was young, but the other day, after decades, I finally bothered to try and find out what kind of watch it was.
I thought it was the coolest thing, and having a watch fetish since I was old enough to tell time, I always wanted one just like this one:

He and Ron wore a Cartier for ages.
Bill wore a Rolex sub in the 80's.

It was Heuer only at this time, not Tag Heuer yet...

Not really. There are amazing shoes for men too.
You prefer talk about skullrings?

Yep, nice Heuer, pic nicked from the article :



It seems the last time he was seen with a Heuer was in 1977...a Bianca connection ?

Keith and Ronnie were seen with the smart looking IWC Portuguese Chronograph during the ABB tour I believe, product placement no doubt as Roger Hodgson wore the same watch at that period.

I also wondered if there was a Bianca connection ...(like the diamond in his tooth)
Gift perhaps?
But according to this article, Mick has been seen wearing different Heuer throughout the 80s, 90s. But true, we only see those two, and particularly the Carerra, with the singular strap.
That model vintage is collectible now.
