The movement in this watch is Lemania 1281 based, the same type that was used in post WW2 Omega and Lemania chronographs. On a side note: back in those days Tissot and Omega were sister companies. The overall cosmetic and operating condition of this watch is very good vintage, with obvious signs of use and aging, as shown on the pictures. The original dial shows signs of natural aging, the hands are in very good original shape. The superb movement is very clean, and all functions work properly. The great looking s/s case. Diameter, without the crown. The faceted lugs give the watch an extra cool vintage appearance. The crown, although matches the style, could be a later replacement. In summary: this is a very affordable piece of horological history. The item “Rare Vintage Tissot Chronograph With Early Lemania/Omega 1281 Movement” is in sale since Sunday, May 10, 2020.
