It’s a double-signed chronograph, probably early 1940’s. Produced during a time when Omega and Tissot joined forces to help overcome the difficulties of the 1929 financial crisis.

Good luck.

What I find interesting about this chronograph is that it uses a cam system to engage the chronograph train. I was always under the impression that chronographs made prior to the Speedmaster Pro 145.022 were all column wheel types.

I may be wrong, but I think Landeron were implementing cams in the early 40’s. Not sure about other movement manufacturers.

Maybe someone with more knowledge can shed some light?

I do not know the date of them, but all my Landeron 48 watches use cams. The Esembl-O-Graph 'textbook' has a 1949 copyright date.


As for the movement in the the OP photographs it is a lemania. Quite possibly a 1280 like mine.

see my thread https://omegaforums.net/threads/a-lemania-lemania.148469/
for information about this type of movement.

This looks like a redial to me, with a 1940s-era dial pattern applied to a late-1950s Lemania 1280/1281 and case.

Looks legit to me. I have quite a few chrongraphs from this era (late 1940s through early 1960s) The dials often look somewhat crude. A lot of the reason I was experimenting with redialing myself. One deserves a thread of its own, which is a pin lever chronostop, what stops the whole movement when the button is pressed. My guess is that these non standard scales were not produced in volume (Although the whole Watch industry at the time was overproducing supply in comparison to demand during this time.)
Tissot was a budget brand after all.

Bana yasal görünüyor. Elimde bu döneme ait epeyce kronograf var (1940'ların sonundan 1960'ların başına kadar) Kadranlar genellikle biraz kaba görünüyor. Kendimi tekrar aramayı denememin bir çok nedeni vardı. Kişi, düğmeye basıldığında tüm hareketi durduran bir pim kolu chronostop olan kendine ait bir ipliği hak eder. Benim tahminim, bu standart olmayan terazilerin hacim olarak üretilmediğidir (O sırada tüm Saat endüstrisi, bu süre zarfında talebe kıyasla arz fazlası üretiyordu.)
Ne de olsa Tissot bir bütçe markasıydı.

Will Phillips be happy to auction your watch 2 years later for Euro 30.000 ?

Not just Landeron, Venus made cam lever chronograph movements from the 1940s alongside their column wheels.. Venus 188 became the Valjoux 7730 and lives on as the 7750.
