Hugh Downs
A Half-Century with Rolex Keeping the Time Of His Life
Hugh Downs is probably best known for being one of the founding reporters with Barbara Walters on 20/20. Hugh starred on 20/20 from 1978 to 1999!!!
Hugh Downs is also famous for being a pioneering game show host on the TV show named Concentration (from 1958 to 1969), as well as being a regular on the Today Show from 1962 to 1971. Hugh Downs was also the announcer and sidekick for on the Tonight Show Starring Jack Paar.
The photo above was taken in 1961 on the set of the TV show, Concentration, and we see Hugh Downs sporting a Rolex GMT, and in the more recent photo from 20/20 we see Hugh Downs sporting his Coke GMT Master. Notice his pose with his Rolex sticking out of his cuff is almost identical.
In the two recent photos below, we see Hugh Downs pictured on the right, with NASA Apollo Astronaut Buzz Aldrin. Notice Hugh Downs is wearing his yellow gold Rolex Day-Date. Basically, as these photos stand testament to, Hugh Downs has been wearing Rolex watches for at least a half-century!!! Hugh Downs was born in 1921, and is 90 years old today!!!
