Sir Edmund Hillary

I believe that is Col. John Hunt between Edmund Hillary (later Sir Edmund Hillary) and Tenzing Norgay as they stand and look at Everest after the climb in 1953.



The third watch down on the right is an Explorer Model 6350 from 1953; presumably the same model watch (but maybe with a strap) worn by Tenzing Norgay on Everest.
