In the '60s & '70s, it was de rigueur. Some great classic racer portraits here.

                  upon a time, racers wore chronographs. They wore
                  them, not because they were under contract with a
                  watch manufacturer, but because they enjoyed
                  wearing them. Chronographs were part of their
                  "uniform", part of their equipment, part of their
                  mystique, part of the romance of men and their
                  machines. The racers compared their chronographs,
                  competing for the "cool factor" or showing off a
                  newly acquired model.</B></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.onthedash.com/racers.shtml">And
                  more than any other brand, the chronographs that
                  the racers wanted were the Heuers. Talk to racers
                  from the 1960's and 1970's, and they will tell you
                  that having a Heuer chronograph was the "in thing".</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.onthedash.com/racers.shtml">The racers
                  identified with the Heuers; these were the real
                  racers' watches. </blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.onthedash.com/racers.shtml"><B>Jochen
