Omega MARINE RARE VERSION GOLD

Graf Zeppelin Hindenburg LZ129 ref. 7060
A couple of months ago I stumbled across 2 curious watches, the Junkers Bauhaus 6060 and the Graf Zeppelin Hindenburg LZ129 7060, during my usual scouring of stores for new and interesting watches. What stood out about these watches was their use of a modified Miyota 9100 movement, their interesting designs?and their relatively moderate price of $550.?At first, my eyes were locked on the Bauhaus 6060 watch, as it had elements of Max Bill design to it that are very appealing. So I wrote a piece about them, which you can read here, focused on the 6060, but touching on the Zeppelin LZ129. But after the post ran, I started to dwell on the watches and thought that something this unique really needed a hands-on to further explore the details and qualities of the watches. Though I initially was focused on the 6060, the Zeppelin LZ129 just began to call out to me as really unique watch, one that didn't just intrigue me intellectually, but rather as a watch that I could see owning myself.Case:

Howard Hughes, what did he wear?
Well I'm watching a show on Howard Hughes and they are talking about stuff he liked and would collect, and all they said was "Hughes was intrigued by many things, motors,planes,cars, and fine watches". That was it, they didn't say what brand or what style other aviator and dress.Does anyone have any ideas on what he had in his collection and what he wore?
