In 1930 Tissot and Omega became partners to help both companies strengthen their position in the market and offer their customers a much wider product range. This chronograph is fitted with Omega’s celebrated cult calibre 33.3 by Lemania, considered the forerunner of the Speedmaster, equipped with its own Tissot signature.
Early chronographs with multicoloured chronograph scales and oval chronograph buttons are highly sought after nowadays and very rare. This piece has a marvellously patinated silvered dial with colourfully harmonised scales and a steel case in outstanding condition.
