Vintage Tissot chronograph Query

alvaropinto · May 25, 2014

I know this is all about Omega but gosh, how I love this Tissot crhonograph!
Do you think it might come with Omega cal.33.3?
Please remove it if you feel it's in the wrong place.

Moved into its own thread since it wasn't Omega and was more of an inquiry

Alvaro,

Nice enough, but wildly overpriced. Even without the relume, dial pitting and case polish, it would not be a USD2000 watch.

You're right. I didn't look to the case polish close enough.
Thanks for moving it to the right place... so , no Omega inside👎.

Well, it will have the same movement as in an Omega, but that's not an Omega. They are all Lemanias.

I thought the cal.33.3 was Omega manufactured.I guess I was wrong.
Thanks once more for enlighten a ignorant soul😵‍💫

I'm the one who could be wrong. I think the 33.3 is the same as the Lemania 15TL. We'll need a real Omega expert here.

In any case, this watch looks a little later to me

The Lemania 15TL begat the Tissot 33.3 which then morphed into the Omega 33.3 (all three companies were in the same group at the time) but they all had only the minute register. I suspect the watch, here, is based on the Lemania CH27 C12 that, in Omega terms became the 320 (with minute register) and 321 (with hour register)
