Tissot, Swiss Made, Case No. 50129, Cal. Tissot 489 - Omega Lemania 33.3, 38 mm, circa 1940
A rare vintage "doctor's watch" with chronograph with 30 min. counter, tachy, pulsation and telemeter scale
Case: steel, push back. Dial: black. Movm.: 3/4 plate movement, monometallic screw balance.
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 cult calibre 33.3 by Lemania, with an in-house calibre designation and Tissot signature.
Early chronographs in steel cases with oval chronograph buttons are highly sought after nowadays and very rare. This piece is easily the most highly desired version because of the striking combination of style elements: A marvellously patinated black dial with fine red gold chronograph scales, numerals and hands in a steel case in outstanding condition.
